After morning coffee in Lockston Path Provincial Park, it was time to stretch the legs on the Skerwink Trail, recognized as being one of the 35 top walks in North America and Europe by Travel and Leasure. Grace opted out. Then explored some of the historical sites in Trinity and then off to finish the day at the Bonavista Lighthouse.
 |
| Trail started past some homes with unique fencing around their vegetable gardens |
 |
| One of the most scenic trails I have been on. Note people on rock in distance. |
 |
| It was an extremely well taken care of trail |
 |
| No protective fencing here |
 |
| Trinity Lighthouse, with the village of Trinity behind it. |
 |
| Mussel farming in a bay near Trinity |
 |
| Visitor Centre and a historic site |
 |
| Colourful depiction of the village |
 |
| The Lester-Garland Mercantile Premises where all local business was conducted. |
 |
| General store, depicting goods of the early 1900's |
 |
| Original floor boards |
 |
| The whole village is so well maintained. |
 |
| The home was owned by Emma Hiscock, left as a widow with six children - a shop-keeper, postmistress, landlady - a real entrepreneur. |
 |
| St. Paul's Anglican Church |
 |
| It was fun strolling the streets. |
 |
| The new and old lighthouse |
 |
| Certainly weren't afraid |
 |
 |
| Left to the elements |
 |
| We spent the night in this park right next to the lighthouse. |
 |
| John Cabot is claimed to have made landfall here in 1497. |
 |
| Wooden fence covered a large area of the park |
 |
| How's this for a free campsite with a grand view! |
 |
| This safari style unit shipped over from Europe, certainly made PeeWee feel inadequate. Guess size does matter. |
 |
| John Cabot statue on one side and the Bonavista Lighthouse on the other. |
 |
| A perfect sunset on the Atlantic Ocean |
 |
| Had supper watching the sun go down. |
