On Wednesday, June 10th, Day 13 of the trip and our 6th day in Newfoundland, we drove 438 km to an RV park just a few km from the L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site. We made few stops, simply because there were few places to stop. I have...

Following our Western Brook Pond boat tour, it was only 23 km to Green Point Campground where we had a reservation. After 10 minutes on the road, though, a sign reminded us of the S.S. Ethie shipwreck at Martin’s Point, and I pulled in there. It’s a very scenic...

On Tuesday, June 9th, Day 12 of the trip and our 5th day in Newfoundland, we took one of the best tours we’ve ever been on – 2 hours sailing the 16-km length of Western Brook Pond, a strange name for one of the world’s most dramatic lakes. The...

On Sunday, June 7th, Day 10 of the trip, the weather was awful, with heavy rain and high winds. We spent some time at the Gros Morne National Park Discovery Centre, then drove 68 km to Harbour View RV Park at Rocky Harbour, for a 2-night stay. After our...

On Saturday, June 6th, Day 9 of the trip, we drove another 230 km north to Shoal Brook, one of several communities in Gros Morne National Park. Gros Morne was one of our main destinations in Newfoundland – although we only had one firm plan, a boat tour, we...

Friday, June 5th, Day 8 of the trip, was our first day of exploring Newfoundland, and it was a beauty, with a fine example of what passion can accomplish with a ruined stone building, and a walk to a nice waterfall. We also picked up a rented Starlink Mini...

On June 3rd, Day 6 of the trip, we picked up our motorhome, then took until the night of June 4th to travel just over 400 km to the North Sydney ferry terminal. Sunrise on the 3rd was officially at 05:31, and it was a glorious start to the...

Day 4 of the trip (June 1) was a very enjoyable day of just wandering around the Halifax waterfront, but the next day we were on a mission, to experience what we had identified as the three museums that would best help us understand the Halifax area. First, the...

Any of you who travel know that there’s never enough time. That’s certainly the case with Halifax, Nova Scotia – the downtown and waterfront area deserves a week of exploring. But all we have is two days. By last night – the end of Day 4 of the trip...

We’ve started our 41-day Adventure to Newfoundland. This is now Day 4 – we arrived in Halifax yesterday afternoon. The journey began early on May 27th, with a 06:20 Air North flight from Whitehorse to Calgary, where we’d spend 2 days visiting family. The weather forecast had indicated it...
