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

We did the other half of the hike we began yesterday


We started in Witless Bay and went to South Head and back.  Nice hike along the cliffs with good views - no fog today.  We could see the island where we went on the boat tour.


Zoomed in on the boat near the island looking at puffins 








Always on the edge



Then back to St. John's, checked into our room at the university and dropped off the rental car.  We had Enterprise drop us off downtown, we walked around a bit, stopped for a sandwich and walked back to the university.

Tomorrow - tea in the crypt!  The episcopal church serves tea from 2:00 - 4:00.  Tea and bake goods in the crypt.  After tea, we're moving to the Hampton Inn, close to the airport, we have a 5:40 am flight on Sunday.

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.
