This morning we rode at a leisurely pace to
Bonavista. Besides stopping for fuel in
town, most of our time was spent at the lighthouse.
Bonavista Lighthouse was built in 1842 and
is now a provincial historic site
Partaking in a little rock climbing to get
a better view. Was it worth it?
Yeah, it was worth it. So beautiful.
The seemingly never ending Atlantic
Ocean. Who in their right mind would
ever dream of navigating a ship through this?
It’s a suicide mission if you ask me.
Our little 1 year adventure is nothing compared to the explorers of the
past.
Travelers from around the globe leaving
their mark by constructing an Inuksuk
The word Inuksuk means “something which
acts for or performs the function of a person”.
It is a stone landmark or cairn used by the Inuit as a point of
reference or marker for travel routes
Getting a closer look at a fishing boat
Leaving Bonavista
En route to Twillingate
We stopped in Gander at the local grocery
store for dinner and bought McCain’s Deep & Delicious Cake to commemorate
Job’s accomplishments as it approaches its 100,000 kilometer marker
C’mon Amanda! Use muscle!
We managed to find a nook to set up camp
off of highway 330 not too far from Gander.
Time for dessert!
