Understand Newfoundland (hint: that’s how to pronounce it)

Whales, icebergs and Vikings all a-half-an-hour late out in The North Atlantic, but what else did we find in Newfoundland?

Magnificent vistas, mountains that rise right out of the sea, the freshest seafood imaginable, and the friendliest people anywhere in the world.

A Newfoundland Pirate’s Life for Me

On our way north from Port aux Basques, we stopped off at Pirate’s Haven, in the tiny west coast town of Robinsons, where Paul and Ruth Gale took us on the ATV ride of our lives… CONTINUE READING >>
