Newfoundland Trip - Day 5

When I got up, the weather was great - sunny and not as cold as yesterday. From my campground, I could see out into the ocean. There are huge icebergs everywhere! My camp neighbors took some good pictures of me... Over to Lanse-aux-Meadows later - site of the purported 1000 AD landing of the Vikings (Leif Ericson?). Very interesting museum and recreation of the sod homes... Just this place was worth the drive! Spent several hours walking around the park and taking in the cool summer air. I looked over towards Labrador - had there been a bridge or ferry right then, I would have gone over. Don't think too many roads are paved over on that side, though... Left in the early afternoon and drove back towards Port-aux-Basques. Visited Grose Morne again. Found a good campsite in Rocky Harbor.
