"What're ya at, b'y?"
"Just takin' a gander."
My new favourite saying, Sonya is actually getting a bit sick of hearing it, but I have to practice just in case I get the chance to use it in real life.
We spent a few fun-filled days in Bonavista! We did all the local hikes, visited the puffin colony, and tried most of the local restaurants.
One day we went for a boat ride (a.k.a. a whale watching tour, but no whales unfortunately). This is the famous Bonavista Lighthouse, as viewed from the boat:
This is (maybe) the boat we were on (or something similar) which e saw from a hike later in the week:
A hike along the coast, to visit the local puffin colony:
Where's Waldo? Spot Sonya in the photo below:
... aaaaaand one of the stars of the day:
One day we did a road trip to Trinity, which is about a 40 minute drive from Bonavista. We saw a life pageant in the afternoon, which included lots of interesting local history:
And we had dinner at the local fine dining spot, probably the best meal of the vacation so far (except for Chris's burgers of course):
View from the restaurant:
Another hike ... we spotted a whale briefly (someone on a bicycle shouted "Whale!!!" so we sat and watched for awhile and eventually spotted one before they swam behind the island in the background:
We both wanted to see an iceberg! However the icebergs are long gone, so our host gave us some real iceberg ice (a thousand years old!) and we made our own icebergs:
Today we drove to our new haunts un Duntara, a bit more remote than Bonavista (we've loaded up on provisions for the next few days) - on our way we visited the "Devil's Footprints" (the round holes in the rock in the background):
... and here is Sonya relaxing on our deck at our Duntara Airbnb:
We're here for a few days to relax and maybe do a few hikes (and for sure a drive to Port Ruxton for some local beer and grilled cheese sandwiches) and then on to St John's for Canada Day!
