Having spent some solid time in Terra Nova National Park, it was time to get back on the road heading to Saint Johns. The campground I’d stayed in had a small little cafe where I managed to pick up a coffee. It was just the right boost I needed, aiding me on the long drive ahead.
The weather stayed cloudy throughout the day, often damp roads taking me through a lush land where an endless supply of water fell from the sky. I made a couple of stops to grab a bite to eat or sate the caffeine addiction but managed to keep a good pace as I drove along.
Newfoundland has some funny names for towns and I simply had to stop in the town of Dildo. Feeling rather hungry, I decided to grab a bite to eat at the Dildo Dory Grill. As I chowed down I looked out the window where good ol Captain Dildo stood tall and proud. Having got a delicious meal in me it was time to return the car and continue the drive ahead.
I passed through a few more towns with funky names as the sun was setting. A thick layer of clouds accelerated the darkening of the land. It’s something I’ve been noticing more and more, the days getting shorter as autumn draws closer.
I pressed on into the night, the coves around me turning to patches of light as streetlamps illuminated the darkened roads. I managed to find a campground just outside of Saint Johns where I’d planned to do some exploring the next day.
