Today we toured the area around St. John. Our neighbor's in Med Hat are from Belle Island which is an Island off of mainland Nfld and is accessible by a short ferry ride. Apparently, it is not very populated and did not hold enough interest for us so we just verify that it was still there. There are many populated islands in the Maritmes that are accessibly only by ferry, much like the islands off of BC.
We also stopped at Portugal Cove, Paradise and Hollyrood. It is amazing how much time one can spend taking in the coastal scenery , the fishing boats and sail boats in all the little harbours. I think that everyone who lives along the coast must own a boat.
We, us folks who don't live in Nfld also assumed and accepted that Nfld is a "Have Not " province. All the older homes and there are many, were newly painted or upgraded. These houses look great with new siding, window, and gutters. These upgrades are apparent in cities, towns and villages. All this to say: don't believe that Nfld is a" Have Not" province. It is just a well off as the rest of Canada. We spent the whole day traveling around the small coastal towns. Cheers
