It’s Over!
After 11 sleeps, three boat trips, three dozen or so meals, 2,878 kms, 8 lighthouses and about 10 lbs of potatoes (each – it seemed) our trip is over. I do have to say that if you have read the previous post about Jeremy’s table manners/habits, he kept his record going until the end. I [...]
The Irish Loop, St. Vincent’s, Cape Race, Cape Spear and St. John’s
We left Clarenville this morning and headed for the local Timmy’s for bagels and coffee. From there we drove down the Trans Canada towards St. John’s and our last night in Newfoundland. We did decide to drive the Irish Loop and I think I can say for everyone that we are glad that we did [...]
Newfoundland Insectarium, Clarenville (again)
By Bob McDougall on Jul 25, 2006 in Newfoundland
We left Gros Morne an hour behind our scheduled 8:00 AM departure. If you’ve read previous posts, you will know why. A little down the road from Gros Morne is the town of Deer Lake. It has one of only two insectariums in Canada – the other is in Montreal. There was some debate on [...]
Arches Provincial Park, Western Brook Pond, Moose Sightings & General Observations
By Bob McDougall on Jul 24, 2006 in Newfoundland
If you’ve read past posts in this blog, you know I am now a fan of moose burgers. While I was not able to talk any of the kids into trying this new favorite of mine, Alex decided that he did indeed want to try moose toast. It has finally happened. We have spotted moose. [...]
Rain, Bonne Bay Marine Station, Rocky Harbour and Laundry
By Bob McDougall on Jul 23, 2006 in Newfoundland
Today turned out to be just what we needed. The weather was lousy this morning and this cottage/house has a laundry room. The rain and the laundry room has given us a chance to get back to square one in terms of clothing. After a week or so on the road things were getting tight. [...]
Twillingate Art Purchase, Gros Morne – Norris Point and Moose Burgers
By Bob McDougall on Jul 22, 2006 in Newfoundland
We left Twillingate this morning a little later than we had originally planned. No, not because we couldn’t get Mike out of bed – this has been an issue – but because while having breakfast at the hotel we noticed that most of the artwork on the walls was from a local artist. There were [...]
Twillingate, Fisherman’s Brewis and Grilled Bird
By Bob McDougall on Jul 21, 2006 in Newfoundland
We said goodbye to our hosts at the Doctor’s Inn B&B and headed down the road to Twillingate. If you are ever in Eastport call the Doctor’s Inn and reserve a room for a night or two. They have a great place, in a nice spot and are fantastic hosts. Bob even let me use [...]
Sandy Cove, Happy Adventure, Salvage and Captain Alex
By Bob McDougall on Jul 20, 2006 in Newfoundland
Today started off well with a home cooked breakfast at our B and B. Great muffins, pancakes and bacon. After that we headed off to the beach at Sandy Cove. All our destinations today were within 10 km of each other, so the DVD in the van did not get too much of a workout. [...]
Rural Newfoundland and the Lack of Internet Access
By Bob McDougall on Jul 20, 2006 in Newfoundland
We have been receiving distress calls at our B and B because the blog hasn’t been updated in a couple of days. Well as you can see I have now posted yesterday’s news and will post today’s once I get this disclaimer added. We are in ‘rural’ Newfoundland and there is NO cell or BlackBerry [...]
