St. John's to Placentia
Rode the "Irish Loop" today. Took a wrong turn and stopped at a Tim Horton's. I asked the guy behind me in line how to get where we wanted to go. He said he was going that way, so he led us to the right place. That's Newfoundland!
Weather started out sunny and warm, then changed about every five minutes the rest of the day. It seemed whenever we got near the shore, the fog was there to greet us!
We saw a big moose. She was walking along in a huge clearing about 300 yards from us, giving time to take photos.
Saw an amphibcar at a gas station. It can drive on the road like a car, or in the water like a boat! We saw a photo of people fishing from it.
We ended the day at Placentia, where we met a friend and her husband who Dennis plays cards with online. She had prepared fish for us for supper! She had also called to reserve a room in town. We will visit her again before we get to the ferry.
The plan is to ride the ferry tomorrow all night. The ferry's been out of service for a week now, and we are hoping we don't have to drive 500 miles back to Port Aux Basques to catch a ferry there.
Bryce "cool...that car can swim"!!!!
ReplyDeleteStill trying to get on here.
ReplyDeleteI made it, I finally figured out how to post a comment. About time, the trip has been underway for some time now. Any way, I sure have enjoyed the pictures and the comments about the trip. Susan has been doing a mighty fine job. The only problem is that it makes me wish I was on the trip also. Ok for now, have a good day tomorrow. Wally P.S. Still thinking about that pie you had on the first day out.
