We’re in St Barbe to cross to Labrador but not going today due to high winds which made the ride up the coast interesting. Fortunately it was mostly from the south and a tail wind, but it was strong enough when angling east or west that it was difficult to hold the bike in the lane.
Our ferry from Nova Scotia ended up not leaving until around midnight and we landed on Newfoundland at dawn. We were able to sleep a little on the ferry so we headed to Blow Me Down Provincial Park to camp and spent two days there because it rained until 4 PM on Saturday. We talked to people yesterday and they said it was a torrential downpour in their cars, so I’m glad we sat it out.
We did the boat tour at Western Brook Pond (fjord) in Gros Morne National Park yesterday, camped at Shallow Bay inthe park. Due to the wind we’re going to L’Anse au Meadow where the Vikings landed 1000 years ago and we’ll try the ferry tomorrow when the wind is better.
