Perfect weather for this time of the year, blue sky, sunshine and temperature around 18°C.
Lunchtime close to Tadoussac, at the dunes to be exact (au Parc de la rivière du moulin à baude).

14:30, finally we arrive at the administration office in Essipit.  Luckily, our condo for today is ready.  We are lodged at the Natakam Condo #51.  From the moment I open the door, the kids feel like being at home.  The condo has everything you need on a small surface. We are surprised how the condo's are still in a good shape after all these years. They must have been working hard to maintain it that well. The last times we were here was in 2005 and 2007.  
Of all the places we stayed at the past years, this one here has the best equipped kitchen. The next morning, I even make fresh bread, yum!

After a horrible night during which Cira wakes up every 2 hours complaining about headaches and sore legs, I wake up in the living room after having changed my sleeping surface a couple of times. One good thing about sleeping in the living room and waking up early is that I could photograph a beautiful and colorful sunrise. 
The day is not getting better. Cira is still sick. We try to stay at the condo as long as possible. Unfortunately, we need to change the condo, we have to leave at 12:00 and can only occupy the other one after 16:00. We knew this ever since we booked itthat there was no condo available for 3 nights in a row. So, months ago at the reservation point, we decided to change in the beginning, which today is not in our favor. 
The weather is still beautiful sunny and the mercury at 17°C. We pick-nick outside not far from the condo. Cira is so tired, I have  to drive around the village to get her asleep. The cleaning ladies are super nice, they try to clean the condo as fast as possible. Luckily, it is ready at 14:00. Thank you so much!
We unpack everything in condo #21, where we will be for the next 2 nights and get cozy again :)

This night was better. Apparently, the full moon was yesterday. Today, Cira wakes up at 7:00 and is full of energy. She is at her best again, but unfortunately, the weather is not. It is cloudy and rainy, the temperature dropped to 6°C. Take out the hats and mittens please!
A visit to the souvenir store, the ti-pi tents, and the stone figures, watching one whale and than the movie "Cars" at the condo are the activities for today.
