Some wild life around Gros Morne National Park.

Look at me haven't I got a big rack!

I will have too in a year or two!

Happy family

This is called mist bathing - - sorry this is Newfoundland - fog bathing.

Brought to you by two cold and wet human animals.

Roberts Arm, Woody Point & The Tablelands

After leaving Twillingate we stayed at a B&B at Roberts Arm a delightful little place not a bit touristy, the real Newfoundland. Photo above of the Harbour and another fishing boat called Provider. I,thought only Ruth's family called their boats Provider. How wrong I was.

From Roberts Arm we moved on to Woodypoint in Gros Morne National Park.

All the history of Woody Point on these two boards.

Late afternoon photo of Bonne Bay.

The Tablelands, 1billion years old , part of the earths mantle thrust up during plates banging up against each other around 1 billion years ago.

Ruth and Donnie, the lousy weather will not stop these two intrepid explores. By this time I was back in the car, warm and dry.

A lovely plant Evan in this wild place things grow.

Some of the very unusual rocks in this place

Sandringham to Twillingate via Newtown.

A change in the weather this morning, no rain but overcast with the sun breaking through now and again.

We are travelling around the coast from the Sandringham/Eastport area through Gambo and New -Wes -Valley to Twillingate with a stop off at Newtown. The bridge above takes us into the village. The photos below showing the view looking from both sides of the bridge.

A bit gloomy with out any sun.

View of the church as we leave Newtown.

Arriving in Twingate,  a late afternoon photo of the view of the bay and the town of Twillingate in the distance and below the same view the next morning, and great news 'the sun is back today'

Another view of Twillingate from much the same position.

Along the coast always from Twillingate is theLong Point Light House

Looking over the cliff out to sea. We were told this is the place to see the icebergs sailing past in May/ June.  Wrong time of year for us if we come again that's the time to come, must be some sight!

Our last sight of Twillingate as we leave for our next port of call - Roberts Arm.

Bonavista to Sandringham via Salvage.

Statue of John Cabot at the Cape of Bonavista his point of landfall in Newfoundland.

 

The lighthouse on the cape. The seas and the coastline here are very dangerous but spectacular.

In every direction there are these cliffs and crashing waves it's quite a sight.

This big hole they call the dungeon.

Leaving the Cape of Bonavista we drive back down the western side of the peninsula through Terra Nova National Park to Sandringham with a detour to Salvage. No photos of the park as we didn't go any further than the information centre as a moose cull was underway and we thought we should stay well away.

Some photos of Salvage a pretty little place a few kilometers beyond Eastport.

Arriving at our bed and breakfast in Sandringham.

Dildo to Bonavista via Trinity

PAnother morning and the sun is still shining, our stay in Newfoundland so far has been constant sunshine. The much talked about Newfoundland rain has yet to make an appearance.

Leaving Dildo we drive around the south side of Trinity Bay and up the Bonavista Peninsula to the village of Trinity

Trinity must be one of the prittiest villages in Newfoundland.

Houses climbing up the hillsides surrounding the village. Most of the buildings have been restored the odd ones that haven't stand out a bit, but it all adds to the charm of the place.

The Anglican Church, not so old, built in the 1890s

 Inside the Church.  Beautiful woodwork.

Looking towards the sea, white picket fences surround all the buildings

A dock scene.

Georgian style house on the cliff overlooking the village.

Trinity mortuary Chapel

Looking out to sea from the village.

 Leaving Trinity we move on up the peninsula to Bonavista town, the coastline is tremendous, waves crashing against the rocks, really spectacular.
