Along the way we saw a ski resort and summer zip line. We drove on past with no zip line takers today.
We passed several really large lakes.
This dwarf thistle was plentiful in a spot where we stopped for our picnic lunch.
Birdsfoot Trefold - Lotus corniculatus
I'm quite sure I should know this plant but can't come up with the name.
This was the view where we stopped for our lunch.
We drove out to our lodgings, The Inn at the Cape, and passed by many limestone cliffs like this one. This cliff is topped with a limestone mine. 40 - 60 ships a year are loaded with this product. Some is used in conjunction with iron ore to make steel and some is used to make cement.
The inn is on the side of a hill and this is the view off the front 2nd floor balcony.
This is the view to the east. Traveling here on the cape is the first time we have seen open fields and livestock. In several places along this road people were raking fields of hay. I think that means that the weather should be fair tomorrow. Our fingers are crossed for another lovely day like today.
Oh no, what has come over me. It was 46 degrees when Allan got up this morning and we had a high of 68 degrees with sun. Two weeks up here and I think that's a lovely day...
This was our sunset view to the southwest. Another gorgeous sunset.
Dinner is included with our stay. It was served family style to the 17 guests. Everything was yummy and I hear that the chocolate cake was out of this world eaten with a side of Canadian smooth and creamy Bryer's vanilla ice cream.
We are looking forward to our last full day of Newfoundland adventures tomorrow. There is already much talk about what time we will arrive at the ferry on Friday morning. I expect that we just might be near the front of the line.
