Today we took a day trip to a little dead-end called Rose Blanche, pretty much straight east from Port Aux Basques. A grey day with some fog to start, it cleared up in the afternoon.
Along the way we stopped at a well-cared-for cemetery. The flowers were at least mostly artificial, but were a bright spot amongst the otherwise bare hills:
A little further on we stopped and hiked to a scenic waterfall.
Can you find Cathie in the pic below? :
The fog created a mood in Rose Blanche:
We hiked up to a gem of a restored lighthouse at Rose Blanche. They had just opened for the season this week:

| I'll bet the stove had a lot of use... |

We decided to stop here and managed to turn around. We later learned this was an ATV trail!
We had planned to have lunch in Rose Blanche, but it was too early in the season for them to be open. Later on we had an early supper in Port Aux Basques. We both had a really good hot hamburger sandwich with fries at the Chinese Family restaurant. For some reason this struck us as funny, eating a meal like that in a Chinese restaurant in Newfoundland. :))
