Another lovely day at Gros Morne!

We started our day at Shallow Beach.  It's a beautiful sandy beach, however the North Atlantic is so cold, it's not used for swimming, even in the summer!
From Shallow Beach, we went to the Broom Point Fishing Exhibit to learn of the fishery of the past, present and future.  

The Mudge Family used this small house as their summer home from 1941 to 1975.  They brought their children and all worked together to salt cod and in later years, can lobster.

We then proceeded to Lobster Cove Lighthouse that marks the approach to Rocky Harbour and the entrance of Bonne Bay since 1897.



We drove to Rocky Harbour where Cec and I ordered another lobster roll.  In Nova Scotia, lobster season is year round, but in Newfoundland it's only in June.  The lobster we are eating is fresh and delicious!

We boarded the coach and drove to the area in the park where you board a boat for a two hour tour of the fjords of Bonne Bay.  The weather is so warm and sunny and the fjords were magnificent.  The walk to the pier is 3 KM each way.  They had a golf cart and for $10 they would take in people who had mobility issues.


This mountains are so high, From the boat, you can't get the entire mountain in your picture.

We went a long way up the fjord.  It was a view I will never forget.  We are had dinner at our hotel and food is very good.  Most people went to the pub to see the hockey game.  At least this game we have TV and the pub has a huge screen.  I'm sure our fellow Alberta passengers will be happy at the results.  We turned the TV off at 11:30 PM at the end of the second period.  

Another wonderful day!
