Woke up at a respectable hour and had breakfast, it was sunny and clear outside so we were hoping for a good day.
Out goal today was to drive around the Bona Vista Peninsular. At the restaurant last night our waitress told us about a spectacular trail along the way, we decided to include that in the days activities.
The first stop was the picturesque village Trinity.
It was good to see corporal punishment is alive and well in Newfoundland, that probably explains why the kids are so polite (takes cover to avoid incoming)!
As I mentioned earlier it was suggested we walk the Skerwink trail, it was 5.6km around a headland. When we got to the trail head it described it as a moderate to difficult trail. We’d never tried one of those before! Anyway, the pictures can do the talking.
Well, we now know what a moderate to difficult trail is. We felt like we had a good work out by the end of it, plenty of up and down on rocky paths at times. However we both completed it without too much trouble. Our walking and weight loss has obviously paid off.
After this we headed on around the peninsular, the weather was clear and warm climbing to a high of 24C. Eventually we followed the TCH up to Gander. We managed to arrive (due to superb driving!) at a fabric store 5 minutes before they closed Just enough time to look, not enough time to buy…. Perfect!
