Rocky Harbour to Deer Lake

July 14th and we are headed from Rocky Harbour to Deer Lake.
This morning we started with a walk along the water front and stopped in at a couple craft shops. One last chance to add money to the Newfoundland economy.

After leaving Rocky Harbour we took a side excursion down to Norris Point. It is a very picturesque area where the Bonne Bay Tours go out of. In fact as we were there a morning tour was just coming back in and the some of the crew on the tour boat were performers at last nights concert. The Captain of the boat played the accordion and two of the deck hands played guitar and one played the drums.

Also while at Norris Point we started on a hike to Burnt Hill, but turned back as there were reports of an aggressive moose in the area.

We then drove to Deer Lake.
Once in Deer Lake we found a hiking trail around the lake and so went for about an 1 1/2hr, after that we went out for dinner and then it was to bed early as we had a 4:15 a.m. wake up call to catch our flight home.
Well after being in bed asleep for about 2 hrs the fire alarm went off in the hotel at at about 11:45 p.m.. Deer Lake has a volunteer fire brigade so it took them about 15 minutes to arrive and 20 minutes to assess the problem, which was a false alarm. So, it was back to bed by 12:30 a.m. and try to catch some sleep before the alarm at 4:15 a.m…… Oh the joys of travel.

The long trek home starts tomorrow! But stay tuned for more adventures in August.
