North West River and Happy Valley-Goose Bay


Today we explored the area around Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Our first stop was North West River which is one of oldest communities in Labrador and is beautifully located at the head of Lake Melville and Grand Lake. Here we visited the Labrador Interpretive Center and the Hudson Bay Company store which is now a museum. The staff at both places were extremely friendly and took their time sharing details and stories of life in Labrador.

 

Next we drove to the town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay in search of craft stores but unfortunately they were already closed for the day.

Back at the campsite we cooked a nice meal and finally caught up with our blog.
