LAST DAY AT TWILLINGATE.
Day 57 – Surprisingly, the temperature this morning at 6:45 a.m. was 50 degrees. Ever changing! There was no wind, but it rained most of the morning. Tomorrow morning we will be getting up early in order to catch a ferry to our next campground – six nights on isolated Fogo Island, one of several places that we decided were our favorite experiences from our last trip to Newfoundland. We’re looking forward to it!

Day 56 – It was 34 degrees this morning when we got up, not windy but very foggy. The sun came out around 9 a.m. We were out the door before 10 a.m. It was 39 degrees.

Day 55 – It was 38 degrees this morning; it continued to rain all night. When we got up, it was still windy, but the rain had stopped. It was very cloudy out. There is a frost warning for tonight. It’s June, right?
COLD!
Day 54 – It rained hard all night and the low temperature was 33.8 degrees. We have a few errands to run in Twillingate today and will probably go out around lunch time. Right now it’s only 35 degrees and it’s still fairly windy. I don’t think we’ll be doing much more outside than the errands.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CATHIE! HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME ON THE ROAD!
TRAVEL DAY
From: Notre Dame Provincial Park, Lewisporte, NL.
To: Peyton’s Woods RV Park & Campground, Twillingate, NL.
Day 53 – It rained hard all night. At 8 a.m. this morning, it was 42 degrees. A bit muddy out. After packing up and dumping tanks, we departed for our next campground at 10:45 a.m. It was 41 degrees, still raining, and the wind was picking up. A nasty day out.
NEWFOUNDLAND – LAST DAY IN TWILLINGATE.
Day 85 – It rained last night and a little today. Cloudy most of the day, it barely got out of the 40’s and with the light wind, it made it feel colder. The high today was 52 degrees; it was 48 degrees when we got up this morning.
NEWFOUNDLAND – TWILLINGATE MISCELLANEOUS.
Day 84 – We slept in this morning and hung around the RV until about noon. It rained during the night and it was very windy. It had stopped raining this morning but was still windy. Last night we tried to make a reservation at Notre Dame Provincial Park, but could not get a signal for long enough to do that. We were able to check availability though. All sites with hook-ups were booked. Only one of the sites we’d marked as a favorite was available for that weekend. And we couldn’t get online. Sigh.
NEWFOUNDLAND – ICEBERGS IN JULY?
Day 83 – The wind picked up last night & it rained hard. So much for the beautiful weather! The wind was increasing this morning and it was cloudy with light rain, so we thought it would be a good day to go campground scouting. Although we are set for this coming weekend at Twillingate, and next week during the week on Fogo Island, we’ll be needing a place to stay the following weekend. When their short summer season is over in September in NF, we should have no problem again obtaining campsites.
NEWFOUNDLAND – ROAD TO THE ISLES.
Day 82 – Today was a beautiful day & we spent it wisely with a ride by ferry to visit an island, a great dinner on the deck of a restaurant overlooking the harbor, and to top it all off, an incredible sunset back near the campground.

Day 81 – Question of the day: Do Dogs Moan? We are cat people. For all you dog people – do dogs moan? We ask because this morning the fog horn was going off, but in addition to that forlorn noise, there was another which followed. It really sounded like a dog moaning – and we are surrounded by dogs. Everyone around here has a dog. OR alternatively, is someone being held captive in an RV nearby?
