Our last days in Newfoundland were spent exploring several areas we had bypassed the first time around. This experience drove home the point of how easy it is to miss beautiful scenery while touring. The typical mistake is taking too little time, almost never spending too much time. In such a remote place, it would definitely be better to plan more time than you think you need, as getting back there will likely never happen.
Sheaves Cove was one of my favorite stops, with its spectacular waterfalls over the rocky shore and into the sea.
Cape St. George and Cape Ray also offered some nice views of the coast and a few of the small settlements there.
Before driving onto the ferry back to the mainland, there was time to visit the historic old lighthouse at Rose Blanche on the southern coast. This is where the road ends; to go farther along this coast requires a ferry ride. While the ferry stops at several villages, very few people live in those villages and the numbers are rapidly shrinking as the population ages.
Stan, WOW, you must have one major waterfall magnet, for you always manage to find beautiful waterfalls each and every time, and include them with all of your other beautiful shots. Thank you so much for taking us along on your trips.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. I do love waterfalls and do a lot of research to find them as I travel. Unfortunately, there wasn't nearly as much available when I was traveling more, and able to hike more, compared to the current time. Bottom line, I appreciate seeing all I did.
