The preparation for a vacation is almost as
exhilarating as the vacation itself. I love printing out the tickets and
confirmations while thinking about how much fun I will have on vacation. I
think that some of the best destinations in the world are located in the Canada.
So I am continuing my tour across Canada. When
you want to plan a vacation contact me!
Things to see and do in
Newfoundland And Labrador
Coastal landscapes
The scenic rugged
coastline of Terra Nova National Park adjoins Bonavista Bay. The Burin
Peninsula has beautiful coastal villages. Icebergs float off Cape Freels, and a
coastal road runs along the Long Range Mountains affording good fjord, mountain
and beach views.
Fishing
Salmon fishing is good in
the Exploits and Gander rivers and you can see a salmon ladder at the Rocky
River Falls. The season usually runs from June to September. A qualified,
licensed guide is often required by law; check in advance.
Folk music
The sweet, plaintive tones
of Newfoundland's famous folk music are the province's unofficial soundtrack;
you can hear local bands in one of the many bars in St John's. The annual
Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival takes place in Bannerman Park during
the first full weekend in August.
Great Northern Peninsula
The wild, scenic Great
Northern Peninsula is renowned for Gros Morne National Park, a blend of rugged
mountains, deep fjords and bays. At the peninsula's northernmost tip, UNESCO
World Heritage Site L'Anse aux Meadows is the New World's earliest European
settlement and features restored Viking sod houses.
Hiking trails
You can go hiking,
trekking and climbing on over 100km (65 miles) of hiking trails at Gros Morne
National Park. The T'Railway Park also comprises almost 900km (565 miles) of
hiking trails between Port aux Basques and St John's.
Historic sites
There are historic
settlements aplenty on the Avalon Peninsula. Trinity records European
explorers' first encounter with the ancient Beothuk people. Placentia was
Newfoundland's French capital in the 17th and 18th centuries. On the west coast
of Newfoundland, explore native archaeological history at Port au Choix
National Historic Site.
Lighthouse life
The Point Amour lighthouse
is the tallest lighthouse in Atlantic Canada. Built from 1854 to 1857, it is
still a working lighthouse, although now automated. The living quarters house
exhibits portraying the maritime history of the Labrador Straits.
Marine life
Newfoundland is rich in
marine life and seabird colonies, attracting millions of puffins, gannets,
kittiwakes, murres and petrels. Go seabird and whale watching (for humpback,
fin and minke whales) by boat or kayak in the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve.
Native communities
Boyd's Cove on the
Kittiwake Coast recounts the history of the mysterious Beothuk people. Labrador
has two main Innu communities, at Sheshatshiu and Natuashish. The Métis
Aboriginal community in Labrador lives mainly around Lake Melville.
