Day 16- Hay Cove to Labrador-June 16 13

 

Breakfast of Baloney and Eggs with homemade bread toast…..all part of my 1st B&B experience….all this with the company of 5 women from Ontario who holiday together….last year they rented an apt in Paris, the year before a catamaran holiday in the Caribbean…..and Havana the year before that………..imagine having to share the bathroom with 5 women……don’t pee on the toilet seat, Don….lol

After breakfast we visited the Viking Settlement which was established 500 years before Columbus set foot in North America. This fact was determined by Carbon dating artefacts found at the dig in 1960.Hay River to Labrador-JN 16 13 002 Hay River to Labrador-JN 16 13 003 Hay River to Labrador-JN 16 13 007 Hay River to Labrador-JN 16 13 004 Hay River to Labrador-JN 16 13 005

  2. Hi guys, just now found your blog again and been catching up on your adventure. With the exception of the weather the rest of the tour sounds to have been a good time. What date are you guys expecting to be back home ?
