Visit new friend's home and stayin Shoal River

a walk around 

Italians, they were here!

 

relying on the experience of my tour master, I no longer had to worry about navigating, just enjoying the ride! Enjoying a visit to Trinity.. we ride around for a while.. anyone.. buyers?

 

I enjoyed visiting the centuries old church..

The Bonavista cape and lighthouse visit:

lunch with a "view"

riding to the lighthouse

lots of wood stacks for those cold winter months

..at the pace I have chosen, we started getting good work out of getting off and on the bike, but we would have needed another day, to just get to the lighthouse! :lol

here is a short video clip 

I had to keep changing between the two lenses to get it somehow better, yet still feel pictures don't quite capture it all..

walking around the cape, on the trails, offers excellent exercise and good views of different perspectives

we did see whales, but it's hard to predict when they come out, even after a good time spent guessing..

Back in Portland Maine, after a long return voyage that included a 17 hour Atlantic crossing from Aregnta NL to North Sydney NS, all day ride to Yarmouth NS and another ferry..
