There was a large line up of tourists from a tour bus at the bathrooms, and they entertained me with their lively chatter about how uncomfortable they were with having to use an outhouse. It was a flush toilet, but no sink. Thank goodness it wasn't a pit toilet! It's always interesting to me to see people's levels of comfort/discomfort when out of their comfort zones. They were a nice group of ladies and I'm sure they enjoyed their trip despite the lack of amenities.
We pulled over at one point because Luke had spotted a couple of whales in the distance.
Whale Tail
My first time seeing whales! And then, behind us:
Moose
A family from Timmins pulled over as well, and we had a nice chat with them. They had taken the ferry to Labrador, since they heard that was the best place to see whales, but only spent a day because the bugs were so bad. It's not just us! They had a drone to take videos and were just about to launch it towards the whales when we drove off.
We did a few chores and I bought some beer at the gas station--the cashier referred to it as wobbly pop! I love the people in Newfoundland.
We then headed out east, towards St.John's.
