Dear Everybody Day 6,
Getting up the next morning we were determined to do a bit of hiking. We'd figured we'd climb up the Tablelands as well as walk up to the fjord that everyone seemed to rave about.
Upon walking out to the fjord in jeans and flipflops, we determined it was quite warm with the sun beating down on us. Slightly sweaty we came upon the large rock formations that created a large canyon in which a lake (pond in Newfie terms) cut its way through. What it looked like from the inside? I do not know. I doubt I'll ever know in real life as I doubt I'll ever return, but it was nice to look at...I guess.
Getting back to camp we made lunch and decided we could do better things with our time than trek around a desert-like rocky area and looked up sand beaches. Finding them we jumped in the car and sped off. Shallow Bay greeted us just outside the town Cow Head, and to our delight had kilometers of sandy beaches along a shallow bay of the ocean. It was beautiful.
Spending the afternoon there we went back to camp where we began to clean up and make supper. Heading down the beach we watched our last sunset in Gros Morne, the colours dancing across the rocks surrounding us. The stars that night shone down, reminding me that my time enjoying the wilderness was limited and I wasn't sure when the next time I'd get to do such a thing would come. A shooting star shot across the sky to our delight and we laughed, both secretly thanking the Lord for the beauty he has created.
