We then headed north along the coast hugging Viking Trail , going beyond the park all the way up to The Arches which is a series of rocks that the ocean has eroded into arches. Much smaller scale than Hopewell Rocks along the Bay of Fundy, but still worth seeing.
On the way up to the Arches we stopped again at the Snack Shack in Sally's Cove, repeated our fish and chips take out order and drove up to the red Adirondack chairs for lunch. Fortunately, they were vacant and throughout our lunch we just marveled how such a beautiful spot is so devoid of people. Not a complaint.
Mr. Spicoli would say, "nearly, dude!" These are called tucks more trees which are found up and down the coast and are constantly bent by the off shore winds.
On our return to campground, we stopped in Cow's Head for a few groceries, and a Shallow Bay, which has a sandy beach which a few sunbathers were enjoying. I put my feet in the water and was surprised it was that cold. No worse than Nauset or Lake Michigan.
Gros Morne, the tallest peak in Newfoundland.
We ended our day with a fancy meal at Java Jacks; our biggest splurge dinner wise on this trip.
Birdhouses in Java Jack's garden.
For appetizers Joni had chicken noodle soup, and I had pan fried COD TONGUES, YES COD TONGUES. They were exquisite. The size of a scallop, but much thinner and very delicate. Our main dishes were pan fried cod for me, and pork tenderloin for Joni.
With rain in the forecast, we returned to our campsite, packed up all our gear, and then engaged in a fierce game of scrabble as we listened to the first place Red Sox.
