Went out east to visit my sister, and since I had never been to Labrador and NEwfoundland, I took that route there - I have now been to all provinces.
Man, what a ride that was... two long stretches of dirt roads in Quebec, including one that twists in and around the water with no railings, with transports blowing by you drifting on the turns because of the mud. Speed limit of 70 but no one going 70. Often no car for long periods of time. It felt like driving in a rally race.
Labrador is gorgeous, but no cell no anything, and if you break down, there are phone booths like 50 km apart. No signs of civilization for hours which was really awesome. Loved NEwfoundland but didn't get to St John because the ferry from Argentia wasn't running yet. Would totally do again.
I don't know if I could live on the east coast, but it's such an awesome place.
