Cape Bonavista ,Elliston and Clarenville


After Terra Nova we travelled up to Cape Bonavista to see the light house and the statue of John Cabot. (aka Giovanni Caboto)
It is generally believed that this was his landfall in May 1497 .
We also saw many icebergs!
See the iceberg in the distance 
 
Around the Cape
 
 Mr. John Cabot 
More icebergs
 
On to Elliston for a beach BBQ  and to see the Puffins
 
Dipping in the Atlantic
  
 
The nesting grounds in the distance
 
What we saw through binoculars- image borrowed from Google 😊 - so cute but they were quite far so you need a very good camera to capture this.
Our last day in Newfoundland and time to head towards the ferry terminal in Argentia.
Stopped to hike Bare Mountain in Clarenville for some lovely views of the Northwest Arm of Trinity Bay
 
 
  
Time to go - good-bye Newfoundland to all your stunning views and your warm , friendly people!
