This morning brought good weather which
made us anxious to get back on the gravel
Churchill Falls is the home to the second
largest underground power station in the world.
We had no clue about this until we arrived there.
Since 1970, the waters of Churchill River
have been diverted into the nearby hydroelectric power station.
Today happens to be a Sunday and the town
was virtually closed. The only place
that was open was the one restaurant in town and the free guided tour into The
Churchill Falls Generating Station.
Unfortunately we didn’t know we had to book in advance, let alone know
that a tour even existed, and were not able to take the tour at 1:00pm. Although, we were lucky enough to have two
open spots at 7:00pm, which gave us plenty of time to hang around.
Lunch for today is canned sardines on a
slice of whole wheat bread
We met up with these two riders Dominique
and John, who were taking the same tour at 7:00pm. We had dinner together at the restaurant.
Amanda and I tried the donair…
…and shared garlic bread sticks drenched in
melted butter.
The lady who served us mentioned that the
community indoor swimming pool was open, which was a real treat for us because
a shower after our dip in the pool is long overdue.
