Port au Choix, an historic site just north of Gros Morne National Park, was the last village we visited on our exploration of the Northern Peninsula.

C_25_0337C_25_0337 It also has a vibrant fishery, as we witnessed these ships being unloaded to have the catch trucked out.

C_25_0330C_25_0330 The  residents of Port au Choix have the Newfoundland sense of humour.

Rocks can serve double duty!

C_25_0343C_25_0343 We passed through Gros Morne National Park on a rainy day, stopping only for the odd photo.

C_25_0345C_25_0345 We drove off the main highway to explore more villages. This scene is in Leading Tickle.

But when you drive other than the Trans-Canada Highway, you may have issues.

C_25_0349C_25_0349 This was the most common sign seen along the roads of Newfoundland.

C_25_0351C_25_0351 This sport fisherman was in Port Leamington.

C_25_0354C_25_0354 Another town we drove into was Botwood, which has seen better days.

As we drove east, we turned off the main highway and north to Twillingate.

Here we were up close to a grounded iceberg.

C_25_0370C_25_0370 C_25_0364C_25_0364 C_25_0365C_25_0365 After an overnight here, we met up the following day with Jane and Bob at Port Blandford.

C_25_0375C_25_0375 We would spend one night in this cabin before continuing our trip.
