From St. John's, we could have taken the 14 hour ferry back to the mainland, but we chose instead to drive back across the island to the 6 hour ferry. The reasoning for this was to visit places we had bypassed in a rush to reach St. John's on the date we had reservations at the only campground. Besides, the longer ferry ride cost way more and who wants to spend that much time at sea?
Somehow we happened to find our way to Triton Island for more fishing villages. Also, the waters there were absolutely full of jelly fish.
Two men in a small boat turned cranks to reel in long lines loaded with unbaited hooks. Many, many fish were brought in and simply fell off the hooks and into the boat. Pretty easy and pretty clever method of fishing.
Our next stop was a place called Rattling Brook, which had nice woods, streams and waterfalls, in addition to fishing.
By the third day, we were back on the west coast and spent the night in the village of Kippens, which was off the main highway, but on the way to our next significant destination. Here we visited a llama ranch and enjoyed more coastal scenery.
