Day 3, St John's to Twillingate

We set off early this morning, after a very nice breakfast at the b&b (shrimp frittata and yogurt parfait). Today is our 25th anniversary, so gifts were in order - first stop was dropping by The Quilted Stash to pick up a copy of their book of Newfoundland inspired quilt patterns, second stop was at the Rugged Rock Harley dealership for a NL shirt. Just what we both wanted!Souvenirs secured, we set off from kilometer one of the Trans Canada Highway, heading for Twillingate.
We anticipated 6 hour drive (equal to Hamilton to Ottawa) but traffic and road conditions were on our side and we made it ahead of schedule.
Our beachfront cottage "Robin's Nest" was ready and waiting, super cute and cozy... a perfect getaway for a few days. The rain will keep us off some of the hilly trails, but there will be plenty on level ground.
After a drive around the marina, a stop at Auk Winery and Foodland for supplies, we had dinner at Pier 39: chunky and sweet lobster rolls!
Back to the cottage to settle in and plan our next few days.Read more
