For those of you who has the intention to go to eastern Canada, 10 days are barely enough to explore the main cities and attractions there. A lot of time will be lost to driving, traffic jams, finding directions and getting lost (especially in Montéal).
** The total driving distance recorded for this trip is close to 2100km, and a lot of walking is involved in the cities. (Driving is only from city to city).
