We made it to Ferryland last night and checked into The Dunnes B&B where we met owners Maxine and Charlie. The Dunes is directly located on the ocean. All bedrooms face the water. The home and the rooms are beautiful.
After steeling in we went out for dinner at Riverside Restaurant. Enjoyed homemade turkey soup. Kim ordered a very large vegetarian pizza which worked out well for us today.
This morning we were treated to a lovely cooked breakfast. We headed out to Bay Bulls for our whale and puffin watching boat tour. As we checked in, I noticed a gentleman I recognized - the actor who plays Murdoch on CBC's Murdoch Mysteries. So we were celebrity cruising! We were asked to sign a waiver to allow our photographs to be taken for the following years pamphlet. So maybe next year our faces will be advertising O'Brien's Tours. Our tour began with a song from our tour guide and instructions on what to do if we were sinking. Shortly after the start of the journey we saw our first humpback whale! This whale showed his fin and tail for us a few times before diving. We headed out to an island filled with seagulls and puffins. On our return to dock we saw three more humpbacks!
The Irish Tearoom was where we enjoyed our lunch this afternoon. This tearoom also over looked the ocean. On the way back to our B&B we picked up a couple of local beers to enjoy the afternoon. We spent the rest of the afternoon sitting in the sun enjoying the view and the local brews. Dinner was Kim's leftover pizza from the night before.
Our day was capped off with a walk to the beach where we were skipping stones - Sharon was the only one to do that successfully - and enjoying the fresh salt air.
We are here tonight and tomorrow night before heading out on the next phase of our adventure.
