There appears to be more potholes in Newfoundland than the rest of Canada combined. Instead of filling the potholes, they put a sign up saying, "potholes ahead". Saves a lot of money.
We passed a moose walking on the side of the road, but the shoulder is about 12 inches wide and the speed limit is 100 kph. So, no stopping to take a picture.
We did get a picture of the area as we travelled towards Deer Lake.
We passed through a number of small towns like Loon Bay, Birchy Bay, Toogood Arm, Boyds Cove and Tilt Cove before we finally came to Twillingate.
Just past Twillingate is Crow Head (not to be confused with Cow Head) and we stopped at Lighthouse Point.
Wonderful spot for pictures as you can see.
Off in the distance is our 1st whale sighting. You cannot see it in the picture, but we were looking through our binoculars and also listening to a guy shouting "whale at 12 O'clock"
More pictures from Lighthouse Point.
We returned to Twillingate to check into the place we are staying. It is called Hillside B&B, but we ended up in a cottage. Very nice 1 bedroom cottage with a full living room and kitchen.
There is a Dinner Theatre in Twillingate that we were lucky enough, to get practically the last 2 spots.
Pan fried cod for me and pan fried salmon for Bonnie. Excellent meal.
The Dinner Theatre group shows their talents in all sorts of Newfoundland culture. The group sings and also performs comedy sketches as well as prepares and serves the meal.
We got there around 5:00 and the meal and the entertainment lasted until almost 10:00.
Back in our room now, and tomorrow we make our way to Bonavista.
Stay away hurricane Chris!!!!
