St. John's, NL to Bay Bulls, NL

No hiking today.  After a continental breakfast (yogurt, granola, banana, coffee/tea) we drove to Petty Harbour, stopped at the Water Shed coffee shop for a latte and a tea.

Petty Harbour

We continued on to Bay Bulls and signed up for and went on a boat tour

Our boat coming in

A catamaran - I thought it would be a nice smooth ride!

  

Very foggy as we headed out

 Managed to get a photo of our B & B - the big red house in the picture

As we left the safety of the Harbour the seas were getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed

We got to the Witless Bay Preserve - lots of puffins 

 

And murres

I headed inside to the lower level and tossed cookies.  Whew, some birthday I was having!

Marilyn stayed up on deck, no whales seen this day.  

Once on land we headed to the Bread and Cheese B & B, to check in - nice place and an awesome view - I took a nap, regrouped, and then we went outside to take pictures.

The gardens

Fully recovered!

Dinner - salads, we split a cod cake, and we shared a cod dinner.

We had good or better views of puffins for free, from land at Elliston.  And no tossing!

Tomorrow after breakfast, we will hike a section of the East Coast Trail.  A late start, breakfast is at 8:30.
