Clarenville to Port Blandford

July 6th we were on the road again from Clarenville up to Elliston. Elliston…… Where the heck is Elliston and what the heck is there to see in Elliston? Well, there are Puffins, lots of them.
We stopped in at the local Tourist Information office and craft shop for directions to see the Puffins. Well as luck would have it a local gentleman who was in his 80’s was there to give us detailed directions to The Puffin viewing spot. We think he hangs around there and mostly bothers the ladies that work in the tourism/craft shop, but he does help out with inquiring tourists.
Anyways, we headed off to the Puffin viewing site. Now, there is something you should know about Puffins as our tour director informed us. Puffins love windy, rainy, cold and wet days……. well keeping in the spirit of enjoying all parts of this Province we were not going to be disappointed today. The rain was pouring the wind was howling and the Puffins were having the time of there lives.
Us on the other hand were soaking wet after this adventure and we required the car seat heaters to dry out on the road to Bonavista.
Yes, Bonavista. You know “This Land is Your Land” – Canadian Version, this land is my land from Bonavista to Vancouver Island. Yes, we stopped at Cape Bonavista lighthouse to sing this song with ukulele accompaniment. Check out this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIOK3aaPnY8&feature=youtu.be

Also, while at Cape Bonavista we saw our first large iceberg fairly close to shore. Wow!
From Cape Bonavista we headed in to the town of Bonavista and had the best bowl of seafood chowder we have ever had at Mifflins Tea House.
Then it was off to Port Blandford for the evening, but first we passed through the Community of Princeton NL; not Princeton B.C..
