Heading to St. John's
... But we still managed to find a couple of bars that had live music. We've decided to travel down by taxi tomorrow night for our night on the town-I guess that is another advantage of camping in the city! Dinner was late again, almost a regular occurrence on this trip :) Jim pan fried up the cod we were given the other day-yum, another great fish dish. I swear, Kerry and I have never eaten so much fish in our lives. Tomorrow we discover what this city has to ...

Half way along the trail, on a long run ...

Dunks, bruises and rafting...oh my!
... day. Drove about 2 1/2 hours North to the small coastal town of Twillingate. Checked into the Sleepy Noggin B&B at 9pm and spoke to owners Ruth & Eric about somewhere to grab a late dinner. Went to R&J's Restaurant down the road to split a small bucket of their popular fried chicken. Just perfect paired with some local beers. Very tired and sore from a day on the water, so we called it a night. What a great little town!!
