Trinity and Bonavista

Thought we'd hit rain today but we only got a few minutes worth. Lucky again. Exploring the East Coast of Nfld. and in Trinity and Bonavista, both historical fishing villages with stories of exploration dating back to the 1500's. The ride was also stunning with vistas to die for and twisty interesting roads, mostly in great condition, except for a few patches and a little construction. Started to run into those bright hillside postcard villages today, the ones you see on ads for Nfld. Staying in a remodeled Heritage House, Harbour Quarters, which used to be a general store. It is an amazingly posh suite overlooking the Harbour and we are getting very spoiled. We are running out of time though and missing places Erik hoped to see. We missed Fogo Island and may not get to St. Pierre, the island off the coast belonging to France.

  1. Hey Erik; I hope you bring this contraption back or build one like it at Blackfoot so next time we negotiate a price on a new R1200RT, you will be locked in it & will be easy to get a good deal from. Ride safe and thanks for the blog.
