NEWFOUNDLAND – THE HUMPBACK OF NOTRE DAME BAY.

Day 106 – Sixty degrees again this morning, mostly cloudy, humid. It is supposed to get warmer today, then rain. We decided to explore some other areas around here. We won’t be able to do & see everything in this area we’d wanted to – we are moving to the Baie Verte Peninsula tomorrow because we had previously made reservations there. We do need some groceries & supplies before we leave, since there aren’t any large towns where we are headed.

NEWFOUNDLAND – BUCHANS JUNCTION TO ROBERT’S ARM.

Day 103 – We are leaving bugland today. Nice Park but we did not volunteer to donate this blood. At 7:20 this morning it was 52 degrees and sunny. We departed Mary March Park at 10:50 a.m. The clouds had come in and it was 64 degrees. The first part of the trip involved very rough road, but after that the girls remained quiet & slept together, a bundle of multi-colored fur.
