Short timers

 Our time in Newfoundland was quickly coming to a close. We allotted two weeks. Wish we had made it a month, minimum.  There's way too much to do and see in the Province. 

We departed our provincial park on the Bonavista Peninsula early on a Tuesday morning. Traveled most of the day Eastward through Gander and Windsor, with a destination of Pilley's island. A Harvest Host site on the island named Bumblebee Bight Inn and Brewery. It made a wonderful overnight stop with great parking, nice view from our trailer, and an amazing hostess. Good beer, and we had a nice dinner there, also.

Wednesday morning found us getting a later start. We had a shorter day mileage wise, with our destination being the same parking lot we stayed in after getting off the ferry two weeks before. We stopped in Deer Lake for gasoline and Tim Hortons. Another stop in Corner Brook for lunch. Mary Brown Chicken 'n' Taters. A chain we had seem numerous times, but passed by. It happened to be handy, and was really good fried chicken. There was a free dump in Stephenville, so we took a short detour into there. Our least favorite town in Newfoundland. It had a more industrial look, but also seemed depressed in a way. The streets and parking lots were in bad shape, and the vibe we had found everywhere else seemed to not be there. We arrived at our parking lot early, around 3 PM. Gave us lots of time for happy hour, reminiscing about our previous two weeks.

The next morning, Thursday, we were at Port Aux Basques by 8:30.  We had another pleasant voyage back to North Sydney, Nova Scotia.

We arrived on time, and made it to Big Spruce Brewing for the night in Baddeck, NS. Another Harvest Host location where we met two couples traveling in Olivers. Another brand of molded fiberglass trailer. They were from Indiana and Virginia. A mini fiberglass rally. 

Stand by for Alexander Graham Bell....jc
