OFF THE "ROCK"

We are off the "ROCK" and travelling thru the Maritimes.

Our stay in NL was beyond what words and pictures can express.

It was an experience of great people and places we will never forget.

Visiting relatives and making new friends highlighted our trip and we are looking forward to our next visit.

WEST BROOK POND TOUR NL

The entrance to the Gros Morne Western Brook Pond fjord.

This was the second attempt to take the tour as the weather had been too foggy at the start of our visit. The extra 300km to return to the pond was well worth it. To check it out just click http://www.bontours.ca/western_brook/index.htm.

This boat tour required a 6km walk to reach and return from the boat launch.

The walk was a moderate challenge but worth the effort.

The path was a treat to the eyes.

Boat line up.

On we go into the area that is so well known from the park promotional views.

Enjoy!

The exit from the fjord.

That evening we rested at a campsite in Corner Brook NL.

A TRIP TO THE TABLELANDS IN GROS MORNE

Off we go from Rocky Harbour on another overcast day made exciting by the beautiful scenery of NL.

We're on are way to the Tablelands in Gros Morne.

Parks Canada Discovery Centre.

The Tablelands in sight.

These formations were once the bottom of a ocean and are composed of the upper mantle of the earth.

Trout River is a small fishing village with a great place to eat.

The Seaside Restaurant is featured in "Where to Eat in Canada" and is well worth the trip.

Fresh cod was our choice.

Local fishers in the harbour.

Local crafts were a treat to see.

The area reminded us of Scotland or Ireland.

The harbour was both a good source of photos and cod frozen cod fish.

On the return trip the sun appeared and the area was highlighted for photos.

A short rest was a visual delight.

Moose were strolling in the distance.

It was truly a magic area to view.

WONDERFUL!
