Day 15 - June 30th

By Danny Haak

This day was the first occasion to take some long sleep, we had the ability to rest untill 11 o'clock, which was very welcome to the people that went out the night before. The people that didn't go dancing and partying, had the occasion to visit the wonderful old city of Québec, filled with old buildings and nice restaurants.

After the lunch, we entered our vans and took the highway to a village just outside Québec, on the foot of a mountain. There we started our very sportive activity: mountainbiking! And for some who weren't that adventurous, there was also a possibility to walk around a bit.

The biking started with a 'for Dutchmen' very steep part, which exausted some of us already, but others managed to get up without trouble. That was the hard work, and the real fun came: downhill! Bumping over the stones, sometimes breaking, but most of times fast, and faster. Real fun to do!

When the foot of the hill was reached, the guide challenged us to do a more challenging track. After about three hours on the bike most had enough, but some accepted it. Unfortunately, the track was a bit too hard for some: so a few of did return wounded to the hotel.

The evening was spent individually, most people went for dinner to the city, some had some beer, others visited the beautifull city center. Most went early to bed: all the sports activity had a great influence on that.
