Our route today was to Port aux Basques to catch the ferry off the island tomorrow morning.
As we were leaving Gros Morne National Park, I did manage to do a quick hike into a waterfall I was wanting to photograph. Luckily the rain let up and I was able to capture a couple of good photos.
It stopped raining by the time we got to Deer Lake and then the temperature suddenly increased. I think I saw 30C very briefly but it did settle uout at around 27C for most of the drive to Port aux Basques. We stopped in Corner Brook for a Vietnamese lunch.
From Corner Brook on, I think I saw a maximum of four vehicles heading in our direction on the Trans Canada Highway! The cruise control was engaged continuously for two hours.
As we neared Port aux Basques, the temperature suddenly dropped to about 16C. We checked into our hotel and went for a short walk around the harbour.
They have a bunch of brightly coloured kiosk shops at the harbour but all but one were closed. We were told that everyone had closed shop and headed inland to enjoy warmer temperatures.
There are not many restaurants here so we decided to eat at our hotel. I finally got to enjoy a mooseburger. Quite tasty!
