Even though the first week of April isn't exactly the ideal time of year for traveling Newfoundland, we made out pretty well on our 10 days of Easter Break.
Day 1 was traveling for the girls to Lewisporte. Candide was coming from Bonavista, Andrée-Anne from St John's and the furthest was Marie-France from Fortune, which is almost 450km!

Showing the girls around my last town of residence. At Indian River.
Pulp and paper mill?
Despite all the industrial activity captured in this photo by the harbour, Corner Brook is in fact quite beautiful, just not at this section of the harbour. Sometimes, sacrifices need to be made in order to bring in money.
Once upon a time, there use to be a train that went around the island, but I think they stopped using it once the roads got paved, and delivering and traveling by truck and car became more economical. Now, the old railway bed has been turned into a ATV/ snowmobile trail, and all around the island, you'll find train engine heads at landmark sites for the railway.
I wish I had taken a photo of Corner Brook at night, because it's quite a pretty sight to see the hill dotted with lights from the homes.
