A rainbow over Robin's Cove on our last day in Twillingate

Thank you to Lalena of Robin's Nest Cottages, she has 3 cottages nestled on the Cove

Rosie's in Gander for a traditional Newfoundland breakfast

Toutons (tow-tans) with molasses sauce,try them if you haven't already!

We saw this giant Joey head on our way past on Tuesday, knew we had to stop and look on our way by

Our room at Cliff's Edge Retreat is modern, main flr, with a private deck overlooking the ocean

Not sure we will use the kitchen, but nice to have the option!

Checking out the deck... I'm told this is a great iceberg viewing spot May/June

A view of the Retreat property from their RV area. The red cottages are cute, but too big for us.

At The Captain's Table. Captain William Jackson was a sealer Captain who had local fame

They are actual cod tongues. A bit of Fear Factor happening here 😬 haha, they were good!

Day 6, Twillingate to Tors Cove

September 22, 2023 in Canada ⋅ 🌬 6 °C

Today was our last morning in Twillingate, it was a beautiful area but we were ready to move on. We highly recommend Robin's Nest Cottages to anyone visiting the area, found on Airbnb, and exactly as advertised.
We stopped in Gander at Rosie's Restaurant, where I finally tried toutons! I had been looking on every menu and this was the first place to serve them. Chewy fried bread with molasses sauce, perfection! Norm had a traditional breakfast with a thick cut of bologna. It looked fantastic with thick housemade bread.
4 hours from Gander to Tors Cove, breaking up the trip with a stop at Joey's Lookout over Gambo.
We arrived at our hotel, Cliff's Edge Retreat at 4pm, but before checking in we found the local trailhead, getting our bearings for tomorrow's adventures.
Dinner tonight was The Captains Table, recommended by the folks at Cliff's Edge - another first, I had Cod Tongue, Norm went for the safer option, Cod au Gratin. Both with caesar salad - oh, how I've missed salads this week!Read more
