On day twenty-three, we set out for our final trek with Norman. We left Pasadena, headed for the Codroy Valley which is on the west coast and near to Port aux Basques, from where we board our final ferry.
We passed through Cornerbrook one last time.
After about three hours of driving, we arrived in the Codroy Valley. Makes a very pretty picture. The wind was blowing pretty strong. It's known to blow through this area at some very high speeds, exceeding 200 km/hr!
We drove out to the lighthouse point where high winds, a fog horn, and crashing surf made for a dramatic coastal experience.
En route from the lighthouse we pass this marvelous private museum belonging to Gus! It was awesome, full of vintage treasures and fun memorabilia.
My dad would love this one, complete with the A&W served on a window tray! I'm old enough to remember those days. Loved them!
We moved on and parked on the beach where Regina cooked us up a scoff of cod and scrunchons in Norman. Great dinner!
We strolled on the sand and caught a beautiful sunset.
Before we left the beach, we toasted Regina's new camper van with some champagne! Norman will be hers.
We kipped one last night in Norman and set our clocks for a really early rise.
We would head for the ferry before the sun and say goodbye to Newfoundland, probably with some tears.
