Day 38 – Travel from Rocky Harbour to Gander, Newfoundland

Day 38 – Travel from Rocky Harbour to Gander, Newfoundland

Today we travelled 370km to our new destination of Gander. We plan on spending a few days here before we move on to our final destination of St. John’s which could be either Thursday or Friday.
We also passed the 10,000 km mark on our odometer today which would be the same as traveling from the Equator to the North Pole I am told, and then to know that we have not yet reached our final destination point or are on our way back!
After setting up our trailer I cooked dinner/supper so we could, if we wanted to, go to Gander and just look around town for a while. But as it is starting to rain again I think we will just stay at the trailer and do some stuff around here. But it’s better than a rock in a pot!
Unfortunately we have no Internet at our campsite but there is Internet access from the office so we can download our emails and upload our blog and pictures from time to time.

Today, Leo did not take any pictures but he did post some more pictures from the last few days. These pictures can be found here.

  2. Ik heb al antword op mijn vraag of jullie nog verder gaan. Jullie hebben niet echt lekker weer. Maar hier is het ook niet best: onweer en daardoor de hele dag al plensbuien. Ik hoop voor jullie dat het gauw beter wordt. Prachtig die foto's weer: die meeuwen die op dat visafval aankomen. Zo duidelijk. Veel plezier weer op de rest van de tocht in NewFoundland! Groetjes Kees

  3. Gander. Well you made it before we did. I put it on my list... but never got to go... still could I guess. Just imagine if Samantha grew up a newfie... you wouldn't be able to understand her at all... maybe she would fit in well.

  4. Oh and I am sure the forecasts will be perfect now that you are in Gander ... after all that is why they reopened the weather office.
