Green Point campground showers rate 9/10. They’d get a 10 if they were not operated by a timed pushbutton, a very short (30 second) times pushbutton. Ok, not the world’s biggest problem, but given everything else is perfect, having to repeatedly push a button to keep the water flowing is an annoyance.
Today we will be taking the Western Brook Pond boat tour into a world famous ‘Fiord’… Yep, the one used in every advertisement for Newfoundland.
We leave the campground shortly before 10:00am and arrive at Western Brook Pond a few minutes later. Barb chose to ride a golf cart while I choose to walk the 2.7km trail to the ticketing center & café. We enjoyed a coffee and scone while we waited for our tour to begin.
I’m gonna keep this short. The tour was amazing. If you ever get the chance come and see this place and ogle at the beauty. Enjoy the following photos as a glimpse into what awaits you.
Enjoy the photos? As ‘they’ say, you cannot capture the true beauty of a place in a photograph. So, if you enjoyed the pictures imagine how much you will enjoy a visit in-person!
We both walked the 2.7km trail back to the parking lot and then drove to Cow Head where we stopped for our dinner. We are hoping for a lobster dinner but the entire town had no power because a truck had taken out an electrical pole 24 hours earlier and so the available menu consisted of salads, cold sandwiches or Seafood Chowder. We both chose the chowder and Barb had a sandwich while I had a Caesar salad. Very good but not quite up to the Lobster dinner that we came expecting.
We left having enjoyed our food and returned to Green Point Campground for a second night.
Tomorrow, we drive the remainder of The Viking Trail.
