Iles de la Madeleine

When: August 2001, for roughly 24 hours
Why: abandoned by Air Canada while travelling standby from PEI to Montreal.
Impressions: I liked les iles. The coastline is impressive from the plane. At some parts, you can cross the island in just a couple hundred meters. Being such a remote place, the beaches were quite empty. The ones where I stayed were nice and sandy, surrounded by moderate red-earth vertical cliffs. Other places were much more shallow, like PEI.
