So we get off one ferry and find we have to drive another 415km to get to the next one...
Driving down the Labrador coast we stumble upon the small village of St. Lewis.
St. Lewis harbour.
From the radio tower hill the townspeople have built this fabulous walking trail down to Deepwater Creek.
We start our trip down to the sea.
Dot is comfortable in her flip flops, not knowing the trail goes on for another 2 hours and gets wild and wooly.
Paul takes a rest at the side of the lake.
Shelter built by local nature enthusiasts.
Paul signs the guestbook at the 2nd shelter.
Dot says "Axe me any question you like"
For the first time in years Dot saws logs.
"It's getting windy up here, and it looks like the moon."
On the way to cliffs...
Dot wishes she had hiking shoes....and a scarf to keep her ears warm.
The end of the trail. Paul is impressed by the modern solar powered navigation beacon.
The Atlantic coast, the most eastern spot in Labrador.
Lots of stairs to get back up to our camper.
One of many "Inukshuks" that guide us in Labrador.
St. Lewis town view.
We stopped to buy a soda from this shop and the owner Phyllis (in window) gave us a lovely taste of crab.
Fine camper dining on Labrador giant snow crabs. Mmmm, tasty.
In Mary's Harbour the management of the local hotel was nice enough to let us camp on the side of their building. Ask about "Harry" if you ever vist....
The Mary's Harbour post office. We sent Pauls' mom Mary a birthday present from her namesake harbour.
Now in Red Bay, a prime whaling town for the Basque fishermen in the 16th century.
Shipwreck in Red Bay from the 1960's
Shipwreck with town behind.
The mighty Labrador sea.
The long and winding road.
The view of Red Bay from the top of the hike.
What goes up must come down...
Whale bones amongst the rocks.
Seaside walking path.
More whale bones.
Lighthouse at L'anse Amour, south of Red Bay.
Looking up.
The climb up the lighthouse was not a big deal for us after living on a 5th floor walkup in NYC.
Entering the top deck of the lighthouse.
Paul was surpised that the lighthouse was lit with just a 500 watt bulb, with a mechanical redudancy system.
The fresnel lens makes the 500 watt bulb visible from very far away.
Dot's big night at the Apollo, actually the ferry from Labrador to Newfoundland.
