Trinity

July 3, 2017  Monday

Foggy morning.  Not exactly the kind of conditions we like when traveling strange new roads.  We got underway and soon lost the fog.  Found some sun on the way which made driving much better.  Still hit some patches of heavy fog.  Thankfully there is not the traffic here like in the US.

Once we arrived in Trinity we saw a big tour bus parked so we parked there too.  We walked around the town and took lots of pictures.  It’s a very picturesque little village with several churches.  We went to the museum which is in a small old house.  It’s full of stories about the town which mostly revolve around fishing.  Had lunch at the Dock Marina. 


We drove out to the Fort Point Lighthouse which sits on a peninsula across from Trinity.  We had to take the gravel road but the scenery was gorgeous.  At the lighthouse there were four cannons pointed out to the mouth of the bay.  We walked all around the trail.  Very windy.  I forgot my coat and hat in the car.  I hope never to do that again.

OOPS!!

July 10, 2017  Monday Gorgeous morning in this beautiful campground.  Our site is surrounded by birch trees and the light coming through the leaves is so serene.  We plan to head out to our next destination…Gros Morne National Park.  We have reservations at the Gros Morne/Norris Point KOA. After packing up we started out.  Jim, of course, was driving the motorhome and I was guiding…somewhat.  I was in front and watching to make sure Jim did not hit any of the trees in front.  We had looked all around the motorhome and thought we had plenty of touring radius…we were sadly wrong.  As Jim was turning and I was watching I heard a horrible cracking.  Of course, I had Jim stop immediately.  I walked around to find a tree…a multi-trunk tree stuck in the back of the motorhome.  We hit the tree just at the seam where the side panels and the cap end come together.  The passenger side cap was pulled away and the access door for t...

Doyles Day 2

July 21, 2017  Friday Had a cool night last night.  Took our time getting ready this morning.  Finally headed out on our car tour.  Drove up the 406 to the Cape Anguille lighthouse.  Gorgeous coastline.  Lots of wild flowers and rocks.  We met a couple…never got their names…who just arrived yesterday off the ferry from Nova Scotia.  They are just beginning their Newfoundland trip.  They did recommend a place to eat in PEI.  Michael Smith, famous Canadian chef, has a restaurant named “Fireworks” in Bay of Fortune.  He prepares a feast on the large property.  It is expensive but those people said it’s worth it.  We’ll check that out. We left the lighthouse and stopped at the Anglican Church and cemetary.  It sits right on the coast.  We walked around and looked at the tombstones.  Looks like some sad stories from times long ago. On our way back to the campground we decided to stop at the Grand Cod...
