Touring around in Central Newfoundland

After our very long day taking the scenic route to central, we were more than ready to relax at my sisters cabin. The ocean view is sweet!

The next day we took a short drive to see the Beothuk Interpretive Centre. The Beothuk were the Indigenous people of Newfoundland and have been extinct since 1829.

There was a nice walk to the excavation site. We were only able to observe depressions in the grass. However, we most certainly got our full quota of mosquito bites!!

We had time for one more quick stop and went to see a salmon ladder. Not much activity while we were there. Still interesting. Apparently it is at the site of a previous pulp and paper mill with several partial concrete structures still visible.

Again the scenery was incredible. The lady who was working at the site said the fish get counted as they go through the trap door (not its real name!).

Our last stop was Gander. It was great having dinner with family. Thanks Jacqueline and Peter.

Then we went to the Joey Smallwood Cultural Centre to see Come From Away. Rather special that we saw the show in Gander, where ‘it’ all happened.

Another great day in Newfoundland.

Cheers
