2018 Eastern Canada trip: Day twenty - From Corner Brook to Channel-Port aux Basques

Ladies and gentlemen,

On the twentieth day of my trip through Atlantic Canada, I drove southwards from Corner Brook to Channel-Port aux Basques where I had to take the ferry back to Nova Scotia the next day. I continued visiting multiple places on my last complete day in beautiful Newfoundland.

Highlights: Corner Brooks turned out being a much more interesting city than it initially seemed to be. There are wonderful parks with long trails, stunning outlooks and a few interesting monuments. Driving west to Blow Me Down Provincial Park was certainly worth a detour.

Curiosities: I met a couple from Ontario. The husband tries to convince his wife to move to Newfoundland. For a fourth summer in a row, he visited Newfoundland with her. I met the couple in Blow Me Down Provincial Park, saw them again in Channel-Port aux Basques and also met them on the ferry back to Nova Scotia the next day.
