July 4. We got an early start this morning and headed out to explore the Avalon Peninsula but ran into Newfoundland's extreme weather, intense rain and dense fog. Thankfully, the fog cleared about the time our exit from the Trans Canada Highway came into view. First stop Dildo
The small towns and villages along this coast are picturesque with intriguing names, Heart's Delight, Heart's Desire and Heart's Content
Next up, Grate's Cove
Bay de Verde
Western Bay where I visited and stayed with a friend
Enough rugged coastlines for now. Brigus is our next stop before reaching our Airbnb in Bay Bulls where family plan to meet up.
I found that the previous days of many km of driving, the concerning fatal accident on the highway and the inclement weather had taken its toll and I needed to slow my roll and rest. So, I did. We pulled into the Foodland parking lot in Bay Bulls to get some lunch which I ate at a picnic table there by some shade trees, where I had parked. Then, as it was a couple of hours before we could go into the Airbnb, I transformed the bench cushions into a bed and we took a nap!
Next edition, Bay Bulls
