I recently arrived home, following a six-day Canadian East Coast trip with stops in Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
For the next several days, I will be posting my photos. The first entry, which was my first stop during this trip: Newfoundland.
I stayed in St. John’s for two days, and travelled the Avalon Peninsula.
The weather was extremely foggy in St. John’s, with the temperature sitting around 3C – locals tell us the weather doesn’t really warm up until the July and August. But once we headed south, the skies cleared and we were able to visit Bay Bulls (to see the icebergs), Bear Cove (more icebergs), and Portugal Cove (fossils). We also made stops at Signal Hill and the most easterly spot in North America: Cape Spear.
For dinner, we hit up Yellow Belly Brewery – a downtown pub with a cool “hipster” type atmosphere. We ordered their classic pizza to share.
Love you photos! You have really captured the beauty of Newfoundland. Can’t wait to see the photos and read about the rest of your adventure! 🙂
looks like a fun trip!! love all that cool fog and nautical stuff …. !!!!!!
It was amazing!! Nothing like it on the east coast. 🙂
Excellent photos. My favorite are the colorful rocks and the window shots.
EXCELLENT? Why thank you!
Hi Emily!
So we have both been on a trip lately…
i love the Atlantic Provinces and have been on holiday in most of them….
you got some great pictures in Newfoundland… i like the last one with you getting a kiss in the fog below a lighthouse….peter:)
We are just two travellers Peter, looking for adventure!
I do remember you mentioning you’ve been to the east coast … I am only getting around to exploring Canada now. I’d be interested in checking out Alberta and BC next.
Every shot is a stunner. I want to get to Newfoundland some day.
You HAVE to go. Try for the summer months; you’ll get better weather 😉
I just LOVE that neck of the woods, Emily, and can picture some of what you saw, having made a cruise trip there years ago. I especially loved Peggy’s Cove! I will love seeing your images!!
I am so excited to hear you’ve done some Canadian touring. Hopefully the weather was better for you when you went to Newfoundland. Even though we had rain/fog, I think it made it more of a traditional NFL experience!
Love the lighthouse.
It was truly grand!
I’ve always been fascinated by fog and mist at seaside locations, it looks peaceful and calm there.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Will. I’ll tell you Newfoundland was very calm, but very rugged. At first, I was disappointed with all the fog, but looking back … it made for an interesting experience – especially driving in it. 😛
