Hi from Corner Brook, NL where it's a pretty, sunny and warm day - the best weather day we've had since arriving in Newfoundland on August 11th.
We left Rocky Harbor this morning and drove 70 miles to Corner Brook - a bustling town of almost 20,000 residents - by far, the biggest town we've seen in a long while! We are at the Prince Edward RV Park but here we are in this "big" town and no internet??? Found a cute coffee/internet cafe in town (Harbor Grounds) overlooking the water. Had lunch (delicious panini's) and checked e-mail and then took off to explore the area. The Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Co. seems to be a large employer and though we had seen lots of wood piles up north....well, this is unreal!!!! Checked out the mall and just enjoyed this pretty day.
Tomorrow we are driving to Port aux Basques where the ferry is and back to North Sydney, Nova Scotia. Whereas we had the 16-hour ride over, this time we are going from the west coast of NL and just a 5-hour ride. The ferry has been having some mechanical/weather related problems and they've shifted times, canceled some, etc. We were to leave at 11:30 Thursday, but now scheduled for 6:45 AM (we have to be at ferry terminal 2 hours before that). Not sure we'll have internet tomorrow night!
So.....bye bye from Newfie land and be back in touch soon!
