July 16, 2011 St. Anthony, NL

Happiness !  Awoke to no rain !  Still 7 degrees celsius though   :^(

Had an amazing breakfast with a couple staying at the B&B who gave us great tips on what to do.  They were 3 weeks into their trip.

Booked a boat tour for the next morning  (apparently the weather would be better than today)

Went to Fishing Point and and saw more icebergs.  Did three hikes around the point.  One of the trails was called "The Daredevil Trail".  Climbed 476 steps  to a height of 500 m and had a great view of Iceberg Alley.  Hardly any tourists up there.  Awesome view.  Awesome weather (a little chilly)

Had lunch at the Lightkeeper's Restaurant.  Saw Haliburton Rick again.  SMALL world.  SMALL Town !

On our way out after lunch we stopped in at the boat tour.  The weather was good (dry anyways) so we changed our reservation to today at 1:00 pm.  Got the last two seats on the boat.  We sat on the very top of the boat..  Very cold and windy but we were layered up accordingly.  Saw icebergs close up.  Growlers and Berger-Bites.  Amazing colours !  Saw a fin whale blow but didn't see much of the whale. 

Finished the boat ride.  Returned to the B&B.  Had a nap and shower to warm up.
Had dinner at The Haven Inn.  (Another Roast Turkey dinner) 

Took an after dinner drive to Goose Cove.  Took a 20 minute hike and saw two whales feeding and many more icebergs (from a steep cliff)  Amazing view and iceberg colours.
