Mary’s Harbour to Battle Harbour


We left Pepsi and the Roadtrek at the school parking lot and started walking to the Battle Harbour ferry dock and one of the locals stopped and offered us a ride.  At the ferry dock we were told that dogs were permitted on the ferry and Battle Harbour premises and could even spend the night in two of the houses there.  I walked back to the RV and picked Pepsi up, along with some food for her and then walked back to the ferry dock.  The ferry ride was about an hour and Battle Harbour was beautiful.

   

We ate a cod lunch and then did a tour of the site, led by a woman who had grown up there and added some personal history to the tour. At the end of the tour Ruth and I decided we would spend the night there and we stayed in the Isaac Smith house. This house has a kitchen with wood burning stove, three bedrooms and can sleep at least 6 people.

Catherine, the general manager of the site, gave us some pointers of where exactly where the sun would set and we wandered off to take pictures.  At 6:30 we had dinner and then headed out again for some sunset pictures.

There was a large iceberg in the bay.

This was truly a highlight of our trip so far.
