St. John’s to Clarenville

July 5th we left St. John’s headed for Clarenville. However before getting to Clarenville we had a days adventure ahead which started by driving out to Cape Spear which is the most easterly point in North America. We joined up with a tour group which was interesting as the guide had a bunch of information about the area, geology and he took the time to point out the various plants that will have berries in August along the hike. Guess who was in the middle of the berry discussion?

However, we found out later that this was a private tour folks had paid big bucks to see all of Newfoundland and Cape Spear was their first stop…. Oops Ha Ha Ha!
From Cape Spear we headed towards the small village Harbour Grace. It is where Amelia Earhart started her cross Atlantic flight to Ireland. 

After this we drove through the towns of  of Hearts Content, Hearts Desire and Hearts Delight.

Then down through the communities of Dildo and past Come By Chance….. We are not making this stuff up folks!

In fact here is a sign listing a lot of the funny names of towns in Newfoundland.
Later in the day we finally arrived at the Wave Hotel in Clarenville.
