Monday, June 30

Leaving our hotel, we headed north on the 410. The road was horrible. It alternated between potholes, gravel and construction. We arrived at FLEUR DE LYS before opening so we filled the time doing the Ocean View trail. Amazingly, the trail overlooked a gigantic, beautifully shaped iceberg. The reason we drove up here was for the Soapstone quarry that was used by native peoples many years ago. It was interesting the way they hacked sections of rock off the rock face. We did a long driving stretch, getting lunch at Deer Lake and carrying on to Rocky Harbour. On the way, we stopped in at Gros Morne Visitor Centre. Our B&B is very nice, overlooking the ocean. We got the guest cottage.
