Got up late at Pointe aux Basque. Made tour around the town. Stopped at local railway museum. Saw brass astrolobes on display. Liked the look of the cast replica outside! Fueled up at Timmy Ho's & gas. Not bad at $1.26/L for high test. Drove from Pointe aux Basques to GrandFalls-Windsor. Looking for rugged natural architecture that is in all the brochures when viewing Newfoundland. Didn't see much! Good #1 highway with a few potholes. Saw one young moose probably just turned loose from mama. Found we're wait-listed for a cabin for our return ferry trip. Could be a long 16 hour night sitting in recliner seats with a hundred other tourists!
496 kms. Stayed in Grand Falls-Windsor. Mediocre pizza, but good beer!

1. Giant replica of astrolobe outside local museum
2. Description plaque below replica
3. Actual astrolobe brought up from a Portugese wreck in museum
4. Hard hat diving suit
5. More museum pieces in front of local artist's rendition of railway station of Pointe aux Basques
6. Really good coffee bistro in Corner Brook NL. Roast &brew their own beans.
7. Anglican church in Pointe aux Basque. Looks are deceiving. Huge buildingMeer informatie

Got up far too early this morning! Fueled at Timmy Ho's. Lined up in ferry parking lot for 2-1/2 hours. Loading was interesting driving down ramps into the bowls of the ship.
Landed on the Rock at 7:00 PM local time. Lost another 1/2 hour of time with zone change. 3-1/2 hrs out of sync with home.
Air was crystal clear. Could see rocky detail for miles (hence the nickname!) Snow on the hills on the horizon. To say it was brisk weather was understatement!
14 whole kilometres today including searching for Timmy Ho's this morning in Nova Scotia, and driving from ferry terminal to hotel in Newfoundland!

1. Families of Cormorants nesting on anchor bollards. Some of them don't plant the landing too well!
2. Wife with favourite beverage.
3. Helicopter landing pad on deck of ferry
4. Transports on upper deck. They get unload before any passenger cars!
5. Entering the lower deck of the ferry...then driving down!
6. Leaving Sydney Harbour.
7. Tourist defense against sea-sickness. Wife pressure testing them! Ocean was a mill pond all the way across!
8. Very intense tourist watching progress out of harbour.Meer informatie

Got up to partly sunny day. Fueled up with gourmet Macdonald's coffee & egg mcmuffin. Traveled route #105 to Cabot Trail. Weather turned cooler (9 deg C!) Started up west side of Cabot Trail. Not too much to see initially. Road resembles a bunch of Zs and Ws all strung together! Further up the coast it opens up to cliffs & ocean vistas. Beautiful & rugged.
Had supper at family restaurant along the trail. Ordered panko coated haddock fish plate. Larry would be proud of me! Discovered even though good intentions, the beef in the atlantic provinces does not live up to Alberta standards.
391 kms

1. Lookout +/- halfway across Cabot Trail of rugged coastline & highway.
2. Suspect high winds are common along route! Hence the trailer tiedowns.
3. Some lawn decorations along the route.
4. Mystery nets in tidal inlet.
5. Beulach Ban Water falls with short person in foeground for scale.
6. Plaque describing above water fall.
7. Plaque dedicated to Canada's fallen along the route.
8. Stop sign in one of the native reserves. No idea what language it is!
9. Someone discovered how to take selfie's in front of waterfall.Meer informatie

Slight hangover getting up this morning. Denice appeared completely unaffected even after a bottle & a half of white wine! Left Eastern Passage late (1:00 PM!). Only one coffee this morning. Somehow I functioned. Took highway 7 up east coast of Nova Scotia through piles of small blink towns. Would be a beautiful ride on a bike. Lots of twisting smooth roads.
Made resolution tonight to stop more often for pictures!
310 kms.

Forgot today was #38 wedding anniversary. Good thing Larry reminded us!Meer informatie

Raining intermittantly all day. 105 kms. Traveled from Truro, NS to Eastern Passage, just outside Dartmouth NS. Arrived at Denice Howell's duplex & stayed overnight. Barb Gibson joined us for evening. Much wine drank. Denice made beef stroganoff (excellent!) Entertained by her stories until 2:00 AM.

1. Denice at home.
2. The three Grande Prairie amigos.
3. Picture of car carrier ship docked and unloading Mercedes and BMW cars from europe.

Raining hard when started day. Went south down route #14 looking for vantage point to watch tidal bore in Bay of Fundy. Note to self: Check local tide tables for actual location! Or...ask locals where and when is best place to observe!
Had lunch in local restaurant in Hopewell Cape.
Returned to Moncton, then highway #2 to Truro NS. Hydroplaned the entire distance in hard torrential rain!

Stopped to take pictures of roadside museum including some old pumpjacks that used to be active in the region.Meer informatie

Made it from Rivière du Loupe QC to Moncton NB. Rained most of the way. Low cloud ceiling spoiled any view of countryside. Good trip on excellent highway. Watched semi truck burn to ground on side of highway with fuel fire. Stayed in old motel, but clean. Had excellent meal in hotel restaurant. Chef served all across Canada in hotels both CN & CP. Vancouver Harbour front hotel to Queen Elizabeth in Montreal.

Interesting urinals in mens restaurant wasroom! What it comes out of...it goes back in!Meer informatie

Laundry finished. Left Sudbury heading south hoping for gas station. Not like Alberta where gas stations are located on the routes in & out of town!
Back into Sudbury for fuel for vehicle & wife (Timmy Ho's). Finally out of Sudbury at 1:00 PM.
Traveled +/- 135 kms to Pointe au Baril. Met up with Bruce Barclay on his homebuilt mahogany boat. Toured the islands before finally landing on his own island.
BBQ steak supper with loads of wine & beer. Great company made for good sleep!Meer informatie
