I tried to get down to the bird sanctuary at Cape St. Mary’s but the weather really wasn’t playing ball so instead I headed to the furthest north point in Newfoundland at St. Anthony, which was bloody miles away.
The old couple who lived at this spot called me in for a much-appreciated cup of tea as I walked south from the camping spot I showed at the end of the last post.
View out the back of their place.
But down on the coast the weather wasn’t so good.
Visibility wasn’t great.
And though it made the boats look really pretty…
…the weather got gradually worse and I gave up on the idea of going to the bird sanctuary.
And ended up a couple of hundred kilometres away in a proper campsite near St John’s for the night instead.
Then my camera had some technical issues and by the time I sorted them a couple of days later I’d arrived in St. Anthony, which is basically as far north as you can go in Newfoundland.
With a few more icebergs for company.
Some buildings associated with the lighthouse…
…which is very pretty.
Basically it’s just a nice part of the world.
And that’s all you’re getting.
