We were sad to get up this morning and pack up to leave this lovely area of Newfoundland. It’s been a highlight for both of us on this trip. When we decided to come here, to Twillingate, we didn’t really know what to expect but we were so taken by the beauty of this village and the area and the warmth of the local people, we wished we had more time to spend here.
We packed up and headed into town, had a quick breakfast and then headed out to make our way to Trinity on the Bonavista Peninsula. The day was sunny and warm and the roads were surprisingly good. There are a few rough patches here and there but, for the most part, were a whole lot better than we remembered them to be last time.
We were really take by Rogers Cove which was on the way to Gander. It was such a pretty area and we happened to ride through at a time when mist was gathering on the water and blowing inland which created a very magical ambiance. I felt like I was riding the through the Mists of Avalon and expected to see King Arthur, Guinevere, and his Knights show up presently... :)
We stopped in Gander for a bit of a rest and then carried straight through to Trinity. It was a relatively short riding day for us - only 300 kms. About 50 kms prior to Trinity, the temperature plummeted dramatically - it went from 25 degrees to about 15 degrees within a few minutes. I guess it was just part of the transition heading from inland back to the coast again.
We arrived at the Trinity campsite around 3pm and just set up our camp when it started to lightly rain. Great timing!
We BBQ’d some steaks and have decided to call it a day, hang out in camp and hit the rack early. We’ll get up early tomorrow and go explore Bonavista and Trinity. We’ve got another night here tomorrow and then we’re off to St. John’s.
