Tuesday July 30

Today is a move day to a RV Park closer to Bonavista and Elliston so we enjoy breakfast, hook up the trailer and head out. It’s another beautiful sunny day with temperatures into the seventies. After setting up camp where we will be for the next three nights we head to the Skerwink Trail a coastal hike with cliffs plunging into the ocean below. This is the same hike we completed two years ago with our friends Jeanie and Dave Eastman. That time Wells was not fully recovered from his ruptured achilles tendon. The ups and downs were difficult and it was a hard hike. This time the hike is considerably easier. The cliff views are breathtaking. Not to worry photographs will be posted once we hit decent wifi. At the end we are tired but feeling good. It’s a hike we high recommend and considered by some as one of the top rated hikes in the world.

Afterwards we head to The Two Whales Café for a late lunch. It’s the same place we stopped at two years ago after we hiked the trail then. It is anything but authentic Newfoundland Fare serving delights more likely found in The Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca, NY. As we enjoy our lunch the weather takes a turn from sunny and mid seventies to thunderstorms. Soon it’s raining and the temperature heads downward.

We are now on the prowl for glue for gasket repair on the truck bed cover. The gasket keeping dust and rain out of the pickup bed is unglued. The actual repair needs to wait until things are dry and a bit warmer as temperatures are now in the fifties.
