So we just arrived in Manitoba
and we stopped at the first big city called Winnipeg.
Actually we drove already more than 6.000 km
we wanted to have our van checked out by a specialized garage.
So that's what we did and we are pretty happy
because there is almost nothing to fix.
Everything is fine.
They just changed the oil filter
because there was a leak.
But besides that we are ready to hit the road again
and to cross central provinces of Canada.
So we are excited.
Just about the timing,
we don't want to spend a winter in Canada with our van.
So I think we'll have to rush a little bit
so we can enjoy Western Canada
because there is a lot to see and to visit.
We just have to fill up our gas tank
and to shop the groceries and we are ready to hit the road.
Here we are in the Riding Mountain National Park.
And we just arrived. It's beautiful outside.
We set up our van there for the night.
We extended the awning and put out our chairs.
We are enjoying living in our van more and more.
We are sleeping better which is nice.
We even have a shower like we said in a previous vlog.
And frankly we use it often. I'm going to show you.
When the sun is up it heats the water
so we can have a hot shower when we are out of town.
It's right there.
Thank you again "Road Shower" because it's very useful.
By the way I will take one pretty soon
so I go to bed early.
Because tomorrow we'll wake up early
to try to see wild bisons.
We are pretty excited. Fingers crossed!
I am so scared! I'm telling you.
My god! I'm so scared.
Oh **** there is one charging at us!
Here we just arrived in Saskatchewan.
And people told us that landscapes are monotonous in Central Canada.
They did not lie to us.
Because so far the roads are straight and it's flat all the time.
Apparently some of you enjoyed my last recipe from the previous Vlog.
So I'll keep on going and today I'll make spring rolls.
They are inspired by a small restaurant
that Sam and I love. It's called "Knees to Chin"
for people who might know it.
I hope this recipe will be better done than the previous one.
But I think so because it's pretty easy.
It's made with rice paper, omelets, avocado, caramelized onions, which I made myself.
Rice nodles and dressed cucumbers.
So it's easy to make and it's pretty healthy.
Even if there are not a lot of ingredients it's still really good.
And we can eat them cold
so we can bring them with us for lunch or for dinner.
Let' do this!
Well we were wrong.
Saskatchewan is not always about straight roads and flat landscapes.
We came across this amazing place.
It's one of our favorite places so far.
It's called "Sandcastles".
We found this place by chance when we were looking on the Internet.
It was not in our Canada guide.
And it was not so accessible.
Actually when we arrived in this small village not so far from here
called "Beechy"
they give you this small map at the gas station.
It's almost hand written like this.
I don't know if you can see it.
So it explains us how to get here.
And even with the instructions
it's not that easy to find.
It's a bit off the grid.
But honestly when you get here this place is crazy!
Because you don't expect that kind of landscapes.
We feel like we are alone in the world.
The air is really hot. So it feels like a desert.
But with water at the bottom and these "sandcastles".
It's just so beautiful.
And it's funny because a lot of people told us that
Saskatchewan is Canada's grain province.
But when you make some researches
there is so much to see so we are pleasantly surprised.
That is really nice.
We were supposed to spend an afternoon here.
But I think we'll stay a day or more.
Because we just love it.
So yes! We are just going to see Sam because we drove some bad roads.
And I think he was trying to fix something on the van.
Is something broken?
- No. I'm just trying to take a look.
- Because here is the gas tank access.
- And the cover was a bit broken and now it's even worse.
- So I'll just put some tape on it.
But nothing bad right?
- No.
The tape needs to be replaced.
- Yes! I'll put new one on.
Alright!
Besides that we will try to go on the top of these "sandcastles" there.
We are just going to change our clothes
and put on some shoes
because it's pretty steep
and there are some cactus.
But I think it's going to be nice!
So we just love this place!
We were pleasantly surprised because a lot of people told us that
Central Canada is just about prairies.
And we can witness that it's not just about that.
You just have to make some researches
and you can find places like this which is amazing!
- Yes it's really beautiful!
So far our two favorites places are The Riding Mountain National Park
where Elise saw bisons.
- Yes! And I was so scared!
- You saw it on the video. I was afraid!
And here are the Sandcastles in Saskatchewan.
We just loved both places.
So it's over for this Vlog.
- No. I just would like to add something!
Yes?
- We lied to you a bit about the rushing part.
- We don't want to spend the winter here with van. That is true.
- But there is also another reason.
- It's a surprise. You will know about it in the next Vlog!
Ciao!
