It was also our day for moose, we saw six in total and at times they seem not care if you are around.
Going north we came across a mommy taking her calf across the road for a walk.
We passed some quaint little villages along the way.
Just about in the parking lot at L'Anse aux Meadows and we come across two nice moose dining on the meadows.
We had such a wonderful day to enjoy the National Heritage Site and to see how the Vikings lived while they were here. We learned a little bit more about Lief Erickson and the men and women coming to the new land.
After viewing the huts etc. we decided to do the 2 km walk around the point and we saw another iceberg, still a long ways away, perhaps when we get to Labrador they will be closer.
After our picnic lunch we went to the Norstead Village, which was very entertaining, they had people dressed in period costume and showed us how to do weaving and pottery the old fashioned way.
This in a boat that would be just like the one that the Vikings arrived in.
Oh no here is King Tut, or should I say Nordic King Tut.
After Norstead we drove back through many of the little harbour towns, all are so quaint, you can really fall in love with the little coves. 
Another little village was Ship Rock Cove and then Cape Onion, beautiful views of the shoreline.
A great day, feeling pretty smug to have gotten this one in between storms.

On the other side of this peninsula is Raleigh or used to be called Ha Ha Cove, it is like stepping back in time, people here are still drying their cod on the tables outside. They tie ripped plastic overtop so the wind blows, keeping the flies away.

This lighthouse is not a long ways away it is just a minature on a hill, was kinda cute.
