Off to Twillingate

Yesterday was a driving day. We left Gros Morne around 8:30 am and headed east. The temperature was getting colder and the winds were picking up a bit, but we made it to Twillingate late yesterday afternoon.

What a beautiful spot. After we had dinner together, we went out for a walk onto this little island we could see from our RV park called “Batrix Island”.

Looking at Back Harbour of Northern Twillingate Island from on top of Batrix Island. Yeah, we had our hoods up, and winter coats on. Thank goodness we brought them!

Such a pretty spot.

On the way back, we thought we would just blow by our RV park and we continued along the road to head to a local bar where a guy was playing. This gives you some perspective. The tulips are blooming! Spring is here!

You’d never know it though. Here we are walking into the Anchor Motel, Captain’s Pub.

Love the board inside the pub.

We still haven’t done a “screech-in”. We’re waiting for the right moment. That’s essentially a ceremony where they acknowledge you as a new Newfie.
This morning was a miserable, rainy day. 2C when we got up — 2!!! And very wet and windy. We spent a leisurely morning, then we all decided to take a drive to see what was what around the island. Even if we didn’t get out of the vehicle much.

We first drove up to the lighthouse, which we really want to come back to visit on a nicer day. Tons of hiking trails around here, and beautiful scenery. Judy trying to get a picture of snowflakes in the air. Yes, SNOWFLAKES! It’s Junuary!

We stopped at the Durrell Museum. Just some local history and artifacts. Good way to spend half an hour on this miserable day. This guy was in the museum.
