After re-visiting the Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site the morning of Tuesday, June 30th, we drove south with no plan, but ended at Ferryland, where we boondocked for the night. The hike to the Ferryland Lighthouse wasn’t the only activity of the day, but it was the main...

On Tuesday, June 30th, Day 33 of our trip and the 26th day in Newfoundland, we returned to Cape Spear with the RV, to see the new and old lighthouses and fort in the sunshine. Then we continued on to Ferryland, but I have a lot to show you...

Wednesday, June 24th, Day 27 of our trip and the 20th day in Newfoundland, was a full day of exploring Bonavista, and we began at the lighthouse. We had parked for the night at the Landfall Municipal Park a few hundred meters away. I began the day, though, with...

On Tuesday, June 23rd, we started the day in Elliston (covered in the last post), then moved on to Bonavista, which was planned to be a two-night stay but became three nights. We arrived at Bonavista at about 11:00, did a loop around town, then went to the Visitor...

The weather was ugly at Twillingate on Wednesday, June 17th – Day 20 of our trip and the 13th day in Newfoundland. We visited the nearby Long Point Lighthouse and Twillingate Lighthouse Heritage Museum, and that was pretty much it for the day. We couldn’t get near the Twillingate...

Sunday, June 14, Day 17 of our trip and the 10th day in Newfoundland, was intended to be a partial day to explore Port au Choix before moving on, but we very soon decided to stay another night. As I write this, it’s our favourite community so far. My...

Saturday, June 13, Day 16 of our trip and the 9th day in Newfoundland, was intended to be a full day at St. Anthony with another overnight stay there, but turned out to be a partial day then we drove south to Port au Choix to get better weather....

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...

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...
