A Geography Refresher

Art just blogged about our boat tour of the Trout River Pond in Gros Morne National Park which is in Newfoundland. We thought this might be a good time to take a moment to look at that Atlantic Provinces map again so that you can see exactly where we were.

The Atlantic Provinces

We had been advised by local folks that due to its more northerly location, it would be a good idea to explore the province of Newfoundland and Labrador sooner, rather than later. So we drove directly from New Brunswick to the eastern end of Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island. There we took a ferry over to Newfoundland and began our 12-day adventure in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The island of Newfoundland offered much more than we had anticipated and so we opted to only explore its Great Northern Peninsula. Now we have a reason to one day return!

Below is a map of just Newfoundland that shows the areas we explored and that we'll be blogging about. For those of you reading this blog who hope to one day travel here, make certain you have plenty of time. Beautiful scenery, fascinating history, charming little fishing villages, very friendly folks...Newfoundland has it all!


We now return you to your regularly scheduled (but just a couple of weeks behind) travel blog.
