88 km, 6.5 hrs The morning started out with a detour in search of fresh bread. Scott wanted to get back on the TCH right away (and head up a big hill to do so), but we had little food and didn’t know what would be available on the highway. We knew there was a…

55 km, 4 h 30 min Our breakfast was fabulous again today, with toast made using fresh bread from the motel bakery. One thing to be said for Newfoundland and Labrador, there’s a bakery almost everywhere, with excellent fresh bread. Today we continued heading south, which meant more headwinds.

75 km, 5h 30 min After a quiet night in the tent, Clyde and Linda fed us a tasty breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast, which was wonderfully fortifying for the day. For the first part of the day, we left the headwinds behind. Our progress was rather quick and we arrived at the outskirts…

45 km, 3 hours St. Lunaire-Griquet to Triple Falls Campground and St. Anthony In the NE corner of Newfoundland, we discovered many interesting things.  Perhaps not profound, but  small things are interesting too.  There are many bogs, the trees are short and therefore provide no shade on a long hot sunny day, and the fresh…
