Brake burns are universally rural ^_^

Felt like I've been neglecting les burnouts recently, so, that being said...

Here's my compilation of brake burns/burnouts/les burnouts from my recent trip to les Îles de la Madeleine.

As you can see, burnout culture knows no cultural/language boundaries...give me a rural road seldom travelled by the po po, and I'll show you brake burns!

What's on This Weekend? Planked Salmon Supper!

HOLY CRAP>>>>UPDATE!!

Woah, almost dropped the ball on this one! This Saturday is the Greenfield Planked Salmon Supper, bwa!?!

Check out a review from a couple years ago here.

Here's a video of the salmon being cooked by the fire.

Looks like it's going to be a wet one tomorrow, you might have to wait in your car to get seated...also means that you probably won't be able to eat outside down by the river :-(

Ma Grande Aventure aux Îles de la Madeleine - jour 2

The first of many windsurfers I would see on my trip


Part of my dune adventure near Old Harry, can you see the trail? It wasn't always clear which way to go, fun!




It was a cloudy day on the island, hard to capture the vistas you see in the tourist brochures..




En faites les burnouts ici, le!



Stunning, one of the few beaches that almost had surfing potential....almost. The cliffs in the distance reminds me of Cape Breton.





Lots of red cliffs to be photographed, this place is an amazing spot for kayaking, I wann go through that hole in the rock!

Ma grands aventure aux Îles de la Madeleine: NS => PEI

This was to be a recurring theme all weekend..waiting in line for a ferry. I managed to hit all my ferries on time, SO much better than driving!


Started snapping pics of people coming off the PEI => NS ferry, buddy gave me the finger, it was a good omen ^_^


Busted! seatbelt not on, one hand on camera, how many driving laws am I violating here?


New VW van on its first trip? LOTS of veedub vans on Les Îles , le!


The captain caught me snapping this one


Nothing says ferry like ferry jello...




Our fishing boat 'escort'....the adventure was only just beginning..

La derniere soire chez Iles...

I came, I saw, I got my ass handed to me by an 11.5 meter kite, I drank your fine beers and savoured your stinky cheeses...Les Iles de la Madleine, I`ll be back..

On faites beacoup de burnouts en Les Iles, le!

First day of my vacation en Les Ilês de la Madeleine. Amazing.

Fine cheeses on offer, the best chocolate croissant I have ever eaten...had a coastal dune adventure (pics to follow) this morning, interesting trail, you had to use your head to figure out where it went next...

Sipping a fine biere blonde ce soir, made with barley grown on Les Ilês, delish!

Tomorrow, kite surfing and kite buggying lessons await!
