It started to rain just as we got up, more of a mist but enough to keep us inside for breakfast. We have indoor activities planned for today anyway, so if it must rain, so be it. We had the gorgeous day yesterday for the Viking site and a lovely walk. We are about 2Continue reading “Day 34: L’Anse aux Meadows to St. Barbe”

Every day is so different. When we came in here last night it was extremely windy and foggy. This morning we woke up to bright sunshine, merely windy, and warmer. Breakfast on the beach looking out over the Gulf of St. Lawrence. We still need jackets though. Sorry for those of you still suffering theContinue reading “Day 33: Port aux Choix to L’anse aux Meadows National Historic Sites”

We have a few miles to cover today and an activity that will take a few hours. We were up and out of the campsite by 8:30. I had originally booked the Western Brook Pond boat tour for yesterday, but today promised better weather and I changed the reservation. I need to explain why thisContinue reading “Day 32: Gros Morne NP to Porte aux Choix”

What a different morning from yesterday! Yesterday was bright, sunny and warm with a view of the ocean. Today is cool and rainy, enclosed in pine trees (it smells good though). We were supposed to do a boat trip today, but I postponed it to tomorrow, pending better weather. There’s not much in the wayContinue reading “Day 31: Gros Morne NP”

The rising sun woke me up this morning at 5:15am. The interior of the van was glowing with a warm red light. I hastily pulled down the shade and shot the sun through the screen just as it was coming over the horizon on the water. What a way to start the day! Then IContinue reading “Day 30: Little Bay to Rocky Harbour”

We are now being blessed with heat and sunshine. We will gratefully take this while we can. It was a gorgeous evening last night. Thanks to the weather and the tent, we sat outside until about 10:30 am. We could leave the tent out all night. Something we rarely do.  It’s not a rain tentContinue reading “Day 29: Notre Dame PP to Little Bay”

Happy July 4th to all my American friends. We arrived in camp around 10 pm last night. There was no point hooking up utilities only to unplug it all in the morning. That meant no internet and we have no cell network here either. We tried to sit outside for a while to enjoy theContinue reading “Day 28: Dildo Run PP, Twillingate to Notre Dame PP”

Gander, Newfoundland, has a rich and diverse history that is closely tied to its strategic location and significance in aviation. The town of Gander was established in the early 1930s as a key stopover for transatlantic flights. Its central location in Newfoundland made it an ideal refueling point for aircraft traveling between North America andContinue reading “Day 27: Terra Nova NP to Twillingate, NFLD and Dildo Run PP”

We had planned a day off from travel today. It’s good to take a break from driving every 7 to 10 days or so. These days are used to give the van a good cleaning, do laundry, take stock of food/ baking and replenish if needed, go for a walk, etc etc. Mother nature hadContinue reading “Day 26: Terra Nova National Park”

The sun came out just as we were about to have breakfast. We moved out to the picnic table to enjoy it. It promises to be a little warmer today. This is a holiday. The campground is full of Canada Flags. Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 On July 1st, Canada celebrates its national day known asContinue reading “Day 25: CANADA DAY – Grand Falls-Windsor to Terra Nova National Park”
