Today is our last full day in NL. After bacon and eggs at The Claddagh Inn, we drove around St Marys to the battery where are canon remains but with the fog, there was almost no view.
By BEAR COVE, we could see the ocean better.
Driving through Ferryland, we spotted the lighthouse from the highway and decided to take a closer look.
When we reached the top, we discovered that there was a "picnic" business there. You call ahead and then you get a blanket rental as well as a lunch that you can then take down to the cliffs and eat. What a great idea!
On the east side of thr Irish Loop, the sun came out and it got warmer. As we drove through Petty Harbour, we noticed a bunch of cars and some excitement so we stopped to see what was going on. A whale was playing quite close to shore. We watched until it left and then continued to Cape Spears Historic Site. We got lucky and spotted some more whales. Some were just spouting water but some were breaaching. Now we can cross whales off our list of things to see. Luckily, we have not seen any moose on the highway. That is a close encounter you do not want to have.
