Gros Morne Coastal Trail


Day 20:30.07.09This morning heralded our last day in Gros Morne before leaving for Lanse Aux Meadows. The morning started off fine but looked somewhat ominous so we decided to take in the coastal trail – a distance of about 6km return. This trail hugged the coastline of the Gulf of St Lawrence and gave us a sense of rural Newfoundland and its fishing heritage. Our walk was almost done when it started to rain. This got progressively heavier during the day and so we decided to do hamburgers and fries for lunch at one of the local restaurants. Refusing to be confined to the van with three squabbling children, we located the Gros Morne pool and the boys spent a couple of hours getting their energy out. The van is a small place in wet weather and we are looking forward to the luxury of a two bedroom cabin tomorrow night at Lanse Aux Meadows.
