Thursday - August 16, 2007

Today was mainly a pretty nice day, it was sunny and cloudy but warm so we didn’t complain. We left Grand Falls-Windsor and drove to Twillingate and the drive wasn’t too bad, the road was kind of rough in spots but on the whole not too bad. Twillingate is on an island and we had to cross three causeways to get here.

We got to Peyton Woods RV Park and got set up, then drove to the Twillingate Light House and what a wonderful view from there, it looks right out into the Atlantic and the shoreline here is different again – it is very craggy and rough, but beautiful. Just when we got to the lighthouse it clouded over but we were lucky that when we climbed up the lighthouse it didn’t rain so we could enjoy the wonderful view. The lighthouse is very much like the one at Point Clarke but here the view is very different.

After the lighthouse we drove out to Durrell which is at the end of the Road to the Isles peninsula, on the other side from Twillingate, and again what a pretty drive. Now, we are back into seeing houses clinging to the hillside and the roads are so steep that I can’t see over the dash when going up or coming down – thank goodness John was driving!

We stopped at the library at Twillingate and I got hooked onto the internet without any problem so checked my e-mail, posted my blog from yesterday and a few pictures, so that is done for another day or two. Just before we got back to the park the rain started and came down in torrents for about 10 minutes then it cleared off again – go figure but we won’t argue.

After dinner we walked down to the water and it was really windy but a wonderful view out into the ocean, what a nice way to end the day.
