Wednesday, July 2

PORT AU CHOIX. The Four rooms cultural centre was next door to our B&B so we started our day there. We learned about the "Basque" people and their migration to NL. In addition, there was a film chronicalling the resettlement program, under Joey Smallwood, that started in thr 1950's. The film showed a house being relocated by towing it through the ocean. Unbelievable! The National Park Historic Site has exhibits about the different native peoples that have settled in the area over time. Included are many artifacts that have been dug up from archeological digs. FLOWER'S COVE detoured us for a hike along the Thrombolite Trail. These structures are rare, massive remnants of former primitive life forms. One and a half hours later, we drove through St. Anthony to see Goose Cove. There the Pumley Cove trail took us to the ocean and very high up on the hills where icebergs were waiting for us. Returning to St. Anthony we checked into Trailsend B&B. We will stay two nights here.
