Corner Brook, NFLD

Ah, it has been a while hasn't it. That has been due to 2 things. One, we haven't been up to much and two, no wifi. Last we were at MacCleods Family camping. We ended up doing the Cabot Trail again because we wanted to do Ingonish Beach again. This time when we were in Ingonish the waves were b/t 10-15 feet high. That was a little to big for the girls and I....Catherine ate sand. Richard loved it and although he got tossed around a bit....and dragged over rocks at one point he probably had the best day of boogie boarding ever. The rest of us stayed in the surf. I haven't been able to get pictures posted because the signal wasn't stong enough at the MacCleod campground for some reason. As we came through the Cape Breton Highlands we saw a moose on the side of the road.

After Dunvegan we headed up to North Sydney for 2 days to wait for the ferry and look around. We stayed at a nice campground with a pool....the last we may see for a while. We took the ferry on Friday. It was nice and calm and with 3 movies to watch the time went fast. There was a lounge to enjoy and a great singer/comedian to listen too. The ferry was quite empty, you could have played football in all the room behind our trailer. Our first view of Newfoundland was Port aux Basque. Vintage Newfoundland, houses scattered all over the rocks, not a tree or bush to be seen, roads mazing though the houses like an afterthought. Next came Table Mountain which we tried to get up in 4 wheel drive but it was too treacherous. We camped in a place called Codroy but we left sooner than anticipated because we couldn't leave the trailer without being eaten alive. We did visit a beautiful beach called Cheeseman Prov. Park. The water was very cold but there was not a soul on the beach which was nice.

Now we are in Corner Brook. It is quite different from Port aux Basque. It is a fairly large town with trees and flower beds and straight streets. This morning we drove up to the end of our road to a town called Cox's Cove. There we found a nice waterfall and we had a picnic lunch and the kids played in the water. Tomorrow we head to Gros Morne. I hope the weather holds out.
