| Not exactly the end of the
trail but it's up in biker's paradise AKA, Cape Breton Island. |
 |
| The North Sydney ferry
terminal. From here you can take the short ride to Newfoundland which is
about 7 hours to Port Aux Basques or the 14 hour ride to Argentia. We
did the former on the way over and the latter on the return trip. |
 |
| On the short ride, this
would be home for the next 7 hours or so. Since we weren't going to
arrive until around midnight, we booked a room with a sixpack at the
local motel in Port Aux Basques. A very nice place. |
 |
| A room with a view as it
turned out. The next morning presented us with blue skies and a ride up
the Viking Trail to L'anse Aux Meadows and St. Anthony for the night. |
 |
| L'anse Aux Meadows, it's
been discovered, is where the Vikings first landed in North American a millennium
or so ago. Yes Virginia, that is an ice berg out there. |
|
| We took the tour of the
reconstructed Viking village. Well worth the time. |
