 From St. Andrews we moved all the way up north to the St. Lawrence River and stayed in Levis which is just outside of Quebec City at Camping Transit.  They had a good size nice park with plenty of pull thrus.  The next day we continued along the St. Lawrence and stayed south of Montreal to avoid the construction mess on hwy 20 that takes you right smack in the city!  We went that way at the beginning of the trip and Billy was determined to find a way better on the way home.  :)
There is a way; you have to stay on hwy 30 then continue on to Salaberry-de- Valleyfield and cross north on the causeway.  From there you are just short mileage from Ontario.

 We thought we would finish our trip by staying over the weekend in the 1000 Islands at the KOA Mallorytown.   This was one of the nicest KOA's we have stayed at.  The owners have been doing this for 28 years and they took great pride in the campground and had a lot of nice amenities and detail.  We took the bike out to the Thousand Island Parkway which was only about 7 miles away to see the cottages on the rocks in the seaway.
There are actually about 1200 islands!
This was the perfect way to end a great trip in our beautiful country of Canada!  This is the first time either of us had ever experienced the other provinces in depth and we were not disappointed.......... and the best thing is we had no problems too big to solve :)
