St, John's 2
June
24th
We started the day with a visit to Memorial University then after
moving to our new AirBnB we explored north of St. John’s.
Flatrock
has striking rock formations in its small bay.
Cape
St. Francis is reached by a very rough gravel road (supposedly onlt
for 4x4s but the Yaris made it through like a real trooper) and is
the most easterly point of North America, meaning the sun rises there
first. There was another small iceberg off-shore.
Next
was Bauline a tiny village at the end of a very steep descent... but
at least the road is paved.
Earlier
I forgot to talk about the composition of the passengers on the Bella
Desgagnes. At the departure from Rimouski and at the first ports on
the north shore the passengers were almost all pensioners, there were
few exceptions, but during the stops at the villages we picked up
some native families and there were suddenly a couple of small boys
that were running about and a couple of teenagers that worked hard at
looking cool and detached like teenagers everywhere, and adults that
didn’t have grey hair. They all got on after Kegaska and were gone
before Blanc-Sablon.
