Last stop for the day is Port Union a historic town own by a powerful fishermen union that was trying to provide fair prices for catches but now also famous for its fossils
On the way up the Bonavista Peninsula we have to stop at the abandoned Loop Park near Trinity to explore the old railway and the adequately scary delapidated buildings
In the middle of our relocation drive we stop at the biggest surprise of our trip the huge collection of well maintained antique cars at the Vernons Antique Car Museum
The second stop of the day is the Provincial Seamen’s Museum housed in a futuristic building and exhibiting artifacts and objects related to the fishing industry in Newfoundland
First stop today is at Grand Bank Cape Trail to enjoy a short hike along the shoreline and find some birds
During our day trip we take a couple hours to explore the Valley of the Seven Ponds a beautiful natural area with many ponds right next to Saint Pierre
Today we are visiting Saint Pierre et Miquellon a relatively unknown oversea territory of France on a daytrip to see the capital and the protected natural area around it
We spend two nights in Fortune but it is not to explore the village really it is more to spend the day taking the ferry to St Pierre and explore a different country
After lunch and buying provisions we stop for a short visit at the Manuels River Hibernia Center to see the trilobits at least inside the museum if we cannot outside due to rain
