Day 1

---

After a bumpy flight from Toronto to St John’s NL, we picked up our rental car and headed to Bonivista Peninsula to our B&B located in Port Rexton. On our way on the trans Canada highway, we spotted a moose running along the side of the road. Ok, we’ve only been in Canada for 1 1/2 hrs and we see a moose already!! Picture shows how close the moose was to the road. When we reached the peninsula, we had to turn around and take a 50 minute detour on the back roads because of an accident on the main highway. Did I mention in the pouring rain. We were so glad to pop the cork when we arrived at our destination. This area is absolutely beautiful, even in the rain and fog. I’ll have pictures when it’s sunny, we’re over looking the ocean. Met some locals who took us to a local diner. Best. Cod. Ever!

Looks like we’re headed near this town and one of our guide’s family is from the area.

Sorry, did not get a picture of the town, only the home of our guide’s mother. She hosted our cookout with 2 musicians. Great fun!

I would love to have a picture of the town, if possible...
I doubt that I will ever make it there as it is so far and remote. Have a great vacation at the ends of the earth!
