Bay Bulls WindDown

The rest of the week here has been a little less exciting but there were several more whale sightings. But it was time for a bit of relaxation for me and Kismet.

Cape Spear is the most easterly point in Canada and therefore sees the first sunrise in Canada each day

Of course Kismet wouldn’t miss out on an early morning adventure. We left the house at 4:15 am. And we were back and made coffee before anyone else was up. — Of course Kismet wouldn't miss out on an early morning adventure. We left the house at 4:15 am.

The ocean in motion. Once the sun was up the wind started to churn the waves

Some fun moments with family.

The boys got their feet in the cold ocean. Cohen said it felt like a brain freeze in his feet. 😀

Found a waterfall swimming hole with great rocks to jump from.

Some whale action in the Bay right in front of our house

The fluke before it slapped it on the water. Sure wish I had a long range camera lens.

Our last dinner together July 9. And then there were 5.

Saw this on bulletin board in the Irish Loop Coffee House. A sign beside it said ”Sit long. Talk much. Laugh often” A recipe for friendship. — Saw this on bulletin board in the Irish Loop Coffee House. A sign beside it said "Sit long. Talk much. Laugh often" A recipe for friendship.

Ferryland Lighthouse. Brooke and I (and Kismet) had a picnic here. Ferryland is known as the Irish Heart of Newfoundland and is part of the Irish Loop

This was our ride up and back down the 2 km hill to the lighthouse.

I will be headed back around the province to Port aux Basques Saturday morning. Breaking the 8 hour drive up into 2 portions with a bigger day tomorrow, stopping at a campground west of Grand Falls-Windsor. We catch the ferry Monday at 11:45 am.

This ship was in the harbour for repairs when I arrived in Bay Bulls on Monday. Saturday morning it was heading out at the same time I was packing up Fern. A sign it was time for all to leave

Many km In A Few Days

Friday July 3 - end of day and I've driven about 700 km since arriving on The Rock. But with the construction slow downs it feels like more. The scenery on the west side of Newfoundland is stunning. Just breath taking. It's much easier to be in stop and go traffic when that's what you're looking at. Not the best shot but gives you an idea Corner

All Aboard, The Ferry is leaving

Tuesday June 30, Point Edward Cape Breton. I learned yesterday, that today is the end of the school year here. My hosts are both teachers. It was an easy drive with little traffic from Pictou. But the causeway was busy with a wait for a large boat to go through. I did expect a leisurely pace driving here but it turns out there are impatient drivers

Day 4 Cape Breton

After a few longish days on the road I hope to slow the pace. So much beautiful countryside and amazing views but I didn't stop to take pictures. But I can share a few from the places we stayed. Our first night was in Drummondville but no pictures of the very generic motel. But our second night was at a Harvest Host location near Florenceville Bri

Yes b'ye, best kind - for crossing the pond

It was a beautiful sunny and calm day to say goodbye to Newfoundland and catch the ferry to North Sydney But first some pictures and thoughts about my 2 days on the road getting to Port aux Basques I stopped in Gander again to have lunch and another visit with my friend, Marg. We met at Tim's. The infamous meeting place for town folk from the pla
