New Found Land

July 31 - (Wilma and Anna writing)  Just a quick  (or not so quick) blog to let you know we are still traveling.  We have just left Cornerbrook Newfoundland.   While in the Corner Brook area we drove to Gros Morne National Park.  Doreen Klassen, our very gracious host in Cornerbrook was with us.  We had a lovely lunch in the Park and then set out for our hike.   It was great to be active.  It felt like we hadn’t done much physical activity in the last few days.  It was raining lightly, and we were surprised  at how wet we got.  We saw a moose. Up close too. Then we saw a very tame squirrel, up close, eating a wiener. We feared for its life. We learned some interesting facts about marshes and things by the signs along the way. Some of us also thought there were to many boardwalks. As I mentioned the hike was soggy and when we arrived at the fjord, the view was non-existent due to  rain and fog.  We have seen some amazing pictures of the fjord though.  Yesterday was sunny (some people didn’t listen to Anna when she said that we should have done the hike yesterday) and we did another short hike near Corner Brook and got muddy again.  We actually jumped half a kilometer down a river, using only rocks to keep our shoes dry.  In the end, Anna (me) was the only one with completely dry feet.

We are waitig for the ferry back to the mainland tomorrow.  When we arrived at the ferry it was to discover our ride was DELAYED BY 12 HOURS!

  We are in line with a slim hope of getting on the 6pm ferry and not the 2:15 am ferry.  Our last province is Prince Edward Island.
