The RV Park is right in the harbor my RV is 150 feet from the boardwalk that connects several peers in the harbor. Ran across this shark (I did not catch the shark I'm the size reference) hanging outside a fish market 20 min. later it was being processed.

Went to a French Fort they performed military reenactments, Cannon firing and displays of life in a 1700s French Fort.

Dear Lake Newfoundland

The last four days was spent at St. Anthony, Newfoundland. Toured the area went to a Viking dinner and settlement, a ferry (13 miles)/ bus trip ( 100 miles) to Québec and Labrador.

Rocky Harbour Newfoundland

In the last 7 days visited Bonavista (puffins a replica of John Cabot's ship they were really brave or lacked good judgment), Twillingate iceberg capital of the world no icebergs this time of the year, went on a whale watching boat tour the killer whales were in the area all the other whales left so the only whale we saw is the one in the picture. Kayaked in a bay of the North Atlantic beyond the big rock in the picture is the open ocean that's all the closer I got (I'm not as brave as John Cabot). The better a lot of pictures of St. John's Newfoundland to Rocky Harbour Newfoundland
