Day 7

Gander is a town located in the northeastern part of the island of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, approximately 40 km south of Gander Bay, 100 km south of Twillingate and 90 km east of Grand Falls-Windsor.









DAY 7:  

Friday – Cow Head to Gander  Breakfast included Return to Gros Morne National Park to visit the Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse, marking the marine approach to Rocky Harbour and the entrance of Bonne Bay since 1897, and then continue east through Central Newfoundland on to Gander. A stop at the North Atlantic Aviation Museum completes your day.


We had a full day and did all of the things mentioned above.

I am just too tired to try to add pictures or comments tonight. I just have to call it a night.

Sorry about that. I will try to catch up tomorrow when we are in Clarienville.

Our night will be spent at Sinbads.

When we arrived at our room there was a gift of 2 bottles of water and 2 NFLD tartan bags with 2 candies inside. The room was large and bright and clean and well appointed.







We stumbled upon a lobster fisherman coming into shore to unload his catch. They had a great system of pullies to get the boat on shore. It was fascinating to watch.


They had a good catch..300 pounds.




We added another lighthouse tyo our list. A guide answered questions and we took pictures from outside. We could not climb it.





Our last stop for the day was a visit to the Aviation museum. It featured the history of the gander airport with emphases on the history and fame of that airport. It was especially interesting to read the thank you letters written as a result of 911







Tomorrow we head for Clarienville.! We will be there for 2 nights, yeah!!!
