Today we drove about 360 kilometers to the town of Doyles, about 40 kilometers from the ferry in Channel-Port aux Basques. We're staying here till we catch the ferry to North Sydney on Friday night.
Once again it was a beautiful day for driving, so after we landed we went for a drive around the area. I think Ed was a little tired of driving so I got to drive for a change.
Nearby is a large estuary which is home to many birds. We hope to explore this sometime in the next couple of days.
Zaph was looking forward to a romp on a sandy beach today. We found not one but two sandy beaches (one on the Grand Codroy River and one across the road on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Unfortunately, our walk was cut short as blowing sand was like being sand blasted.
This area is different than a lot of the other areas we have visited. There are actually grassy fields. Today we saw a few small farms including a dairy operation.
Of course we saw a few harbours, a fish plant, some fishing boats and a light house. This is the Cape Anguille Lighthouse.
