    Windiest spot: Ferryland Lighthouse. I couldn't even keep my balance walking up the hill!
    1Most romantic thing: sand scribbles at the Witless Bay BeachMade me laugh: Turns out sperm oil is used to keep the lamp lit. Cape Spear LighthouseGallery highlight: seeing one of Christopher Pratt's last paintings at The Rooms, St John'sAwe inspiring moment: standing where Pope John Paul II blessed the fleet in Flatrock, 1984Best meal: Fish and Chips (with gravy and dressing) at Ches's in St. Johns. Treated like family.Hardest hike: the Sleepy Cove trail at Crow's Head, Twillingate. I'm pointing at our destination.Most interesting local: the boat builder at Twillingate's Isle Wooden Boats MuseumMost awkward moment: siteseeing, when a funeral let out of the area's oldest churchBest hike highlight: seeing the Natural Arch at Little Harbour, TwillingateBest chowder: Sansome's seafood chowder, by a landslide. Twillingate.2Disappointment: not seeing a sign that said Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour.Best selfie: at the Ferryland Lighthouse, sheltered from the windSeen everywhere: garbage boxes at the end of most driveways. Some were painted really fun!Fear Factor moment: trying cod tongues at The Captain's Table, Tors CoveBest timing: catching the end of a wedding at Bay Bulls MarinaRock's Signal Bed and Breakfast, on Jellybean Row, St John's NLRobin's Nest Cottage, TwillingateCliffs Edge Retreat, Tors Cove NLThis is just an extra, I'm not sure why my phone created this little video, but I like it.Thanks for following along on our Newfoundland adventure! We flew Swoop Airlines, Hamilton-St John's

    TravelerThe roads actually weren't as bad as we expected! The road workers weren't very skilled at filling them, though 🙄
