newfoundland, part four: the north.

october 23, 2016 at 12:07 by felix. no comments.

from gros morne we continued north. we visited port au choix, where tourist season unfortunately had ended and the interpretative center was closed:

we also visited the early viking settlement in l'anse aux meadows:

and took a not too close look at the burnt cape ecological reserve, right next (in raleigh to which we were staying. around that time, the moose hunt was officially started and we saw some moose leftovers hanging around here and there. children swings are apparently a useful thing to disembowel dead moose; next to the place where we stayed, we found some leftovers at a swing together with a moose head:

newfoundland, part three: gros morne national park.

the gros morne national park is an impressive national park in the west of newfoundland. it features lots of interesting geology, a lot of nature and many great views. we explored the tablelands, broom point and the nearby wonderful steve's trail (a real gem!), the western brook point, the town cow head (where we stayed), and the arches provincial park slightly north of gros morne.

another gem can be found next to deer lake: the newfoundland insectarium. you can see many beautiful butterflies, local and non-local insects, a beehive, tarantulas, and much more. here's a selection of some butterflies:

this year we visited canada for another time, this time concentrating on it's east. we began with exploring newfoundland. some very beautiful places can be found on the port-au-port peninsula, in particular the hidden falls in sheaves cove and cape st. george. also, the peninsula houses felix cove, which we had to pay a short visit :)
