Bay Bulls, NL

Good breakfast at the Bread and Cheese B & B - breakfast casserole, toast, yogurt with fresh fruit and tea/coffee. Breakfast was at 8:30, so we had a leisurely start to the day. We started hiking at 10:00

The start of the trail

It was raining and very foggy when we started, our hiking boots are soaked.

Some boardwalk

Some mud

Some rocks and tree roots

Trail followed the cliffs

Foggy day to see Island Cove

As close to the edge as I get

Living on the edge

We could barely see two of the three Baboul Rocks

Our turn around point

Fog lifted a little

Island Cove with less fog - the blue green color of the water is amazing

After the hike we stopped in Witless Bay for lunch and then continued on to Ferryland.

We tried rug hooking

A another nice day in Newfoundland. Tomorrow we will finish the trail we started - start at the other end and walk in to where we stopped today! Then drive back to St John's and drop off the rental car.

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.

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.
