Fogo Island, Newfoundland, September 2015

In Banff we attended a talk at the Banff Institute by Zita Cobb and Todd Saunders architect who have been instrumental in the development of community activities and a new hotel on Fogo Island. The Island is the largest of Newfoundland's offshore islands. We were so taken with the talk that we decided to put Fogo on our travel plans. We were not disappointed and loved our time on the island. There is only one RV park on the island, at Brimstone Head in the town of Fogo. The Flat Earth Society designate Brimstone Head as one of the corners of the known world.

Off to Newfoundland, August 2015

After a very enjoyable stay on Prince Edward Island, we head to Newfoundland, via Nova Scotia. First by ferry from Wood Islands in PEI to Caribou in Nova Scotia. Then on to North Sydney on Cape Breton Island. Then after at night in a park in North Sydney, on to Port aux Basques in Newfoundland. The ferry (MV Blue Puttees) is substantial, with two vehicle decks. The weather was perfect across the channel. I would imagine that berthing in Port aux Basques could be quite a challenge with a number of rocks close by when the ferry turns to reverse.
