Ferry from Port aux Basques
We were up early and leaving Corner Brook, destination Port aux Basques, which is the town where we catch our ferry across to Cape Breton. It didn't take too long to get there and so it was sort of a waiting game that was played most of the day.

This park is also really beautiful, with a river running through it. (Fishing in the rivers is apparently the thing to do here, FYI). I went for what turned out to be a really long walk with some non-English speaking German tourists to find the water tap. A bit of a random ...
Where is that B&B?
... get on after gassing up. Then the B&B was nowhere in sight at the announced location. I pulled into a parking lot and asked a guy in a big truck and was pointed 4 km up the road.
