Day 21/May 24, 2016 – Walmart in Gander, NL to Cape Bonavista, NL
More driving today but the good news is that we won’t be travelling far over the next few days! David hike the lighthouse trail by Kings Point and I took a nap!
Walking on the Cape Shore trail out of Bonavista and spent some time hanging out near the lighthouse and Landfall Municipal park. A brilliant, sunny 68 degree day.
Wildlife sightings today: two foxes….and while David was walking the Cape Shore Trail, he saw a whale and was very excited! He didn’t know what kind and it didn’t matter…heard it spout and saw it. Thar she blows…not bad from shore.
It appears to be a banner year for icebergs…lucky us. When we were here in 2013 there weren’t nearly as many bergs. We can see 6 from where we are currently parked right now; they are off in the distance but we can see them☺
So after dinner we decided to see if we could go stay in Dungeon Provincial Park but first made a trip in the rv up to the lighthouse. As we are getting ready to move there is a fox just sitting outside our rv. Then he decided to just laydown and stare at us. PEOPLE, people, people please do not feed wild animals because they are cute, thin or whatever. They lose their fear of humans (really it is a good thing that they fear us) and this one was begging! Did I feed him…no but I snapped a lot of photos and then chased him away.
We drive up to the lighthouse and that is where everyone is…just hanging out mostly. Off to Dungeon Provincial park (a gravel road but well done) at sunset…a wicked good sunset. Dungeon Provincial park provided us with a great sunset and a place to park (it is not a campground). Just before dark we came upon a boardwalk and viewing area and decided to take a look. It didn’t look like anything spectacular worth viewing until you look down into the “dungeon”, two sea arches and if you had a small boat and the water was calm you could enter these. The last time we were here we drove through the park because the weather was windy, rainy, cold and the road surface was not great either….and missed it. There was no information posted about this park.
