We camped at Newman Sound, Terra Nova National Park for 2 days. We were out of cell phone / internet range, so we had an enjoyable couple days in the quiet. The campground was really nice and much nicer a couple weeks ago. They have tons of nature programs during the summer but all was shut down on the Labour Day weekend. There were only a handfull of people there with over 400 sites available. Yvonne managed to find a little girl to play with and they had a blast. We had a site right next to the playground.
On the first day, we drove up to the Marine Interpretation Centre where they had a touch tank where you could touch crabs, sea anemones, and starfish (top picture).
The weather was so nice, we decided to stay for a second day. Yesterday, we played with Yvonne's friend in the morning, then we went for a bike ride and a hike along Newman Sound (bottom picture). It is one of very few estuaries on Newfoundland and is protected internationally for study of the variety of species that call it home.
We have now driven up to Grand Falls - Windsor which is in the centre of Newfoundland and leaves us with two easy legs of driving to get to the ferry on Tuesday. We plan on 4 days in the Louisbourg area of Northeastern Nova Scotia.
