A couple of low key days, taking our time and driving through central Newfoundland. We spent Sunday night in Terra Nova National Park - a prime hiking destination. The weather was not cooperating, but we enjoyed the nice campsite among the pines.
Yesterday, we took a detour up the Northern Bonavista peninsula. We stopped in a small town, Dover that sits upon the edge of the tectonic plates that underlie Europe and America. Unfortunately, their visitor center was closed, but the viewpoint was open and had signboards.

We continued north to a wonderful wide beach in Lumsden that you could drive out on. Sand, sea, surf, bathingsuits, and ICEBERGS?? We are close to the main part of Iceberg Alley and saw as many as 10 icebergs on the horizon.
We spent the afternoon enjoying the beautiful weather and then headed back down the other side of the peninsula to a large town called Gander where we will hopefully find a large grocery store and do some errands.

| Lots of ponds (Newfie's word for lakes) with many rocks |
 |
| About 5 miles from the beach, we ran across this informal campground with folks backed up to the ocean watching the Bergy Bits. |
