June 13, 14...Long
drive to Twillingate, about five and a half hours including short stop
at Gander for a quickie lunch at Tims. Late aŕrival to a B&B overlooking the harbour. Unfortunately, raining with temperature of 10
C. Brrrrr
Woke up to very cold this a.m. and winds of 20 to 25 knots.
Knew we wouldn't be going out to view the icebergs on iceberg alley.
Drove to lighthouse where there are lots of walking trials but way
tooooo windy. Almost got blown off the viewing area.
A visit to the
Twillingate Museum was worthwhile, then a drive to the marine museum
which was closed. That left the next option, the Auk Vinery for a tour.
Only four full time employees and they ship 15,000 cases of varying wines a year. Most berries are supplied by locals for the wines. Neat
names like Moose Joose, Jellybean Row, Funky Puffin, then on for lunch
of chowder and mussels and cod burger.
Later that
evening scouted out restaurants for dinner. Anchor Inn nice but not too
home style. Ended up in same place as lunch for lobster, crab and a
seafood platter. Excellent!
