2016/08 Newf'land trip - Trinity |
|||||
Laundry done, Sandie had a yen for fish and chips. The GPS only found a couple of seafood places in distant Trinity on the Bonavista Peninsula, so we 
headed there, sure that we’d find something closer along the way. Not so. We drove through a number of picturesque little villages on the shores of this bay and that bay, but found no restaurants or even a bar. So we ate our lunch at Erickson’s in Trinity at around 4pm.

Sandie enjoyed her fish and chips.
Trinity turned out to be a really pretty little place with bright colored houses sprawling around the steep hillside above the waters of Trinity Bay. By accident we’d ended up in one of the province’s most popular “heritage towns”.
We explored the town, also looking for a birthday card for Mum, without much success. One shop owner said she only had a box of free 
cards and there we found the perfect one. She refused to take any money.
We weren’t keen to drive all the way back to camp at Terra Nova, so we looked for an alternative and Sandie found Lockston Path, less than 10 miles north, a quiet little provincial park on a winding river.
Tuesday August 16th
It was a drizzly, perfectly still morning, great for a boat ride in Sandie’s opinion, so we headed back to Trinity to see if there was any room on 
the 10 am boat trip out to see whales and puffins. Unfortunately nobody else thought it was perfect and no one else had signed up. The owner was not willing to take his boat out for two people, so we headed off for our next destination. Before we left Sandie took this picture of this oddly pieced rock wall in the harbour.
