Final Thoughts

Our final evening was spent at an Irish Pub on Water Street. The performers weren't great but it was fun and a good way to pass a rainy night.

Our final thoughts on our trip are very positive. We are glad we came to see Newfoundland. We saw a lot in a short amount of time. Next time we would fly into Deer Lake and out of St. John's and save that second drive across Hwy. 1. We would have rented a car that you could drop off at a different airport and we would have unlimited mileage. We would spend more time in the southern part of the Avalon Peninsula-Irish Loop. We wish we had spent 2 days in Woody Point area in Gros Morne so we could have explored the Tablelands. Of course it is weather dependent what you are able to do each day. We were lucky for the most part and we were able to do what we wanted. We missed out on actually going to the Tablelands and we missed going to the Garden Party and Mutiny plays in St. John's. I wish we had gone to Bonavista but we made the choice to stay in Trinity for their pageant.

Some highlights were:
Our boat tour in St. Anthony's where we saw icebergs close up
Prime Berth in Twillingate
Anchors Aweigh in Rocky Harbour
Our visits to L'Anse aux Meadows, Colony of Avalon, Beothuk Interpretation Centre
History tour and pageant in Trinity
St. John's The Rooms, Signal Hill, Geo Centre, Cape Spear,
All the small fishing villages
All the whales we saw!
All the cod we ate!
Elaine's B&B, Hillside B&B, Evergreen B&B
The Newfoundlanders we met with that great sense of humour!
