It absolutely poured last night and is rainy and cool this morning too. The tent kept us dry, but our spirits are a little damp. Physically, we are just getting tired and need an easy day. After packing up a wet tent and grabbing breakfast, we decided just to stay close to the area.
We went by Western Brook Pond thinking about trying again today to catch a boat tour, but it is still covered in clouds. I took a picture of the information plaque of what it would look like on a sunny day. Still very impressive regardless.
The sky did eventually lighten up, but the wind was extreme especially on the coast. It took a concentrated effort to keep the bikes in the correct lane. We are camped tonight in a beautiful site at Shallow Bay just at the North end of Gros Morne National Park.
Anyway, we have had some down time and are feeling better. I spent a lot of time on the beach and did a little hiking. Don did a little maintenance on the Strom and reorganized his bags. We are both feeling better and relaxed and ready to start the Viking Trail.
Interesting fact for today: Newfoundland was a longtime holdout to joining the Canadian Confederation; it wasn’t until 1949 when it finally joined the rest of the country. Until then it was an independent nation.

Beauty in nature is spectacular in sight whether the skies be cloudy or clear. Sounds as if you are having a good trip. Many sights to see and words will never quite describe it and Kodak only can produce so many colors…..nature in color is spectacular!!
