The west coast of Newfoundland was quite the sight.
As we continued along the Trans-Canada highway we were treated to surprise after surprise. Every turn of the road we would see a new river, lake or mountain. It's amazing how amazing sights will just pop up and you just have to say Wow!
Finally, along the way down the west coast we spotted a moose. We have been seeing "look out for moose" signs all along the roads since Quebec but never saw anything. The moose is not a lie!
The further we went the more rugged the land got and the mountains from Corner Brook to Port aux Basques are very much worth the trip. I wish I could have looked at them in more detail but we had a ferry to catch.
The weather was perfect for the return trip, though it was a bit cold. The ocean was behaving and the ride was much nicer than the first ferry. We were able to watch Newfoundland disappear into the distance and at about midnight the lights of Cape Breton come into view.
The lights of the boat were bright but it was just dark enough to see the Milky Way in the sky again.
After we docked we nabbed a room at the hotel in the port we had stayed in a few days before and got some sleep.
Tomorrow we head off to a new province.

Enjoying your trip guys! the pics are great as is the daily "movie".When you are looking for a place to eat try " Cora's " if you spot one. They are a bit pricey but great food!Watch out for moose and other wandering creatures!
Oh yeah, we found a Cora's in St. John's. That was good and the fiber helped out too! :P
