Fortune → Granby · the Twillingate detour, a second ferry, four provinces

After coming ashore at Fortune, we take to the road for our return journey towards Quebec. The route is punctuated with several charging stops for the Rivian R1S, which lets us take in beautiful scenery and explore parts of Newfoundland and Labrador — its dense forests, its crystal-clear lakes and its majestic mountains.

We carry on towards Twillingate, a charming coastal town known for its picturesque scenery, its steep cliffs and its sweeping views over the Atlantic. Twillingate’s charm lies in its natural beauty and its warm atmosphere.

Then we head on to Lewisporte to charge, a picturesque town on the north coast, before visiting the Lewisporte Train Park, a railway park offering a unique experience for train enthusiasts and families alike, with its miniature train displays and interactive activities.

After Lewisporte we carry on to the Salmonid Interpretation Centre, in Grand Falls-Windsor. The centre offers an educational, hands-on look at salmon and their habitat, with exhibits, aquariums and activities for all ages — and a restaurant on site, where we stop to eat.

We then carry on towards Quebec, making several more charging stops across Newfoundland and Labrador.

After leaving the island, we board Marine Atlantic’s ferry the Blue Puttees again, bound for North Sydney, Nova Scotia. The crossing once again offers spectacular views over the Atlantic and the surrounding islands.

After our ferry crossing, we carry on towards Quebec, stopping to charge in Nova Scotia before continuing into New Brunswick.

In Moncton, a lively and welcoming city, we stop to charge and take a short look around — its historic sites, its parks and its local restaurants. The city is very much shaped by its LGBTQ+ community, with many businesses proudly flying the rainbow flag, making for an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere for every visitor.

We went to visit Moncton’s digital cathedral, built in 1939–40 in an art-deco and neo-gothic style. Inside, digital screens tell its story.

We then went to Riverview, on the outskirts of Moncton, to have new tyres fitted — tyres the mechanic in Miquelon had ordered from Pirelli. Titine was back on her feet in no time. We want to thank the person who patched the tyre in Miquelon and let us make our way calmly to Moncton, all the way across Newfoundland and Labrador, with nothing more than a patch on the tyre and its inner tube.

Two new tyres, ordered all the way from Miquelon, were waiting for Titine in Riverview.

Several more charging stops punctuate the way home, including one in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, and others in Quebec.

While the Rivian R1S charges, we take a short walk through Old Quebec — always a pleasure to stroll through, all the more so under a glorious sun.

One last charging stop awaits us in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford before we reach home — and above all our little Leo, who gave us the warmest welcome!
