21 Days in Newfoundland - Day 8: King's Cove Lighthouse Trail, Tickle Cove, Walkers Trail, Bonavista, Cape Shore Trail

---

Day 8 started with a drive to King's Cove to hike the LIghthouse Trail. The fifth straight day of rain made the trails a tad wet but during the actual walk it was only "misting". I took the short inner loop of 1.7 km which of course takes you to the King's Cove Lighthouse. Actually it was kind of a boring trail, walking through forest with little coastal views except at the lighthouse. Following this, I drove toTickle Cove just to take a picture of the name. Actually, I did bump into the Walkers Trail while there which I took for a km or so just to give a tad more creedence to my visit. Off to Bonavista to check into my hostel and around four I started the Cape Shore Trail. This is a 3 km trail to the Bonavista Lighthouse, entirely hugging the coast of Bonavista Bay. Since it was raining again now, and quite windy, I hiked an hour in total just to say I experienced the trail. It would be a lovely trail on a nice summer day.
