This is a driving day. It's over four hundred killometres to our next destination Twillingate, on island on the northern coast of Newfoundland. The driving is about one third TransCanada highway and the rest secondary roads. I had been warned before our trip that the secondary roads were rough. As soon as I think to myself this isn't so bad the advice is proven correct. All this is to say that google's estimates are pretty optimistic.
We arrived in Twillingate at arround 4 o'clock and after a bit of gps hicups found our new B&B. This home was purpose built a few years ago. Our room is good if a little tight. Twillingate is a large fishing port with several largish trawlers tied up. We suppered at a spot favoured by locals then headed out to explore.
Here is the port:
Here is Wild Cove where S found some treasures:
Continuing on we came to Crow Head and then the Long Point Lighthouse. Here it is:
We might have seen another sunset if it weren't for the cloud on the horizon.
On our way back we stopped at a hotel and caught the first set of a local folksinger. I'll try to get his name. He was a great story teller ang guitar player but he kind of overplayed his voice so I can't give an opinion on that.
Off to bed.
