Saturday - August 4, 2007

Well, this morning we woke up to sun and it was much warmer than yesterday so we headed out for Woody Point and Trout River, communities that are on the south side of Bonne Bay. Of course, as soon as we got going it clouded over and we had a few sprinkle of rain but nothing much and the scenery was wonderful.

We got a really good view of the Tablelands and it was very interesting – on one side of the road were the Tablelands which are barren rock and on the other side of the road were mountains covered in trees etc. and looking very lush – such a contrast!

All the little villages along the coast are so scenic - we can certainly understand why these people are drawn to the coastal areas. We stopped at the Discovery Centre just outside of Woody Point and also stopped at a café at Woody Point for a coffee and cinnamon bun, as well as making stops for pictures.

When we came back I did some laundry so we are now ready to head to St. Anthony’s in the morning. While at St. Anthony’s we will not have a telephone connection (as a matter of fact people with Rogers don’t have a connection here but my Verizon works fine), the Sirius radio won’t work and of course Bell ExpressVu won’t work, and as far as wi-fi goes I won’t even go there!! I wonder how people can survive there without all these conveniences – probably they are much happier than most of us!!!!
