Day 9 - Part 1 - Trinity

Trinity, Newfoundland - my favourite spot on the trip.  It is a gorgeous fishing village.  Many houses are nestled up in the hills.  They have awesome views. The colours on the houses are spectactular!  I only wish we could have spent more time here.  It's a place I definitely want to come back to!

Here are a just a few pics:

The local post office.

I posted this photo earlier in the blog.  About 30 seconds after I took this, the kayak instructor and students came in and started turning them over to go out for a paddle.

A sample of one of my many rust photos.  I am thinking I will post a separate posting with just rust.

Down by the waterfront, so pretty!  This is where Dennis met someone who was on a boat and when the fellow found out Dennis was from Vancouver, he invited him onboard for a coffee.  So Dennis and Naomi had coffee/tea with this person and they discovered they had a lot in common, with their love of wood boats.  It was a special moment.

I call this one "Little House on the Prairie", even though it's high up on a hill. Somehow it just reminded me of it.

The town has beautiful churches and the graveyards are pretty interesting as well.

Someone's cool storage shed/garage!

Fog rolling in, seemed to be a common occurrence throughout the trip.

Another view just walking down the road.

Came across this licence plate.  Obviously these people love Newfoundland!!

This house needed some work done around the property.  Still it was very interesting.  I loved the arched gate in front.

The colour of this house was spectacular.  Such a rich shade of blue.

Now for an orange house with red door, some green and cream trim.  Loved it too!!

A simple white house with beautiful blue, red and cream trim.  I seem to recall this place was a B & B,of which there were many in Trinity.  That would be a great way to spend part of a vacation too!!

An interesting window, love the colour combination here!

And here was my score at a local gift shop:

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Beatles!!

The lady at the shop was just unpacking these Beatles boxes when we were in the store.  I was looking at something else and I heard Hannes say "wait until my wife sees this!"  So of course I had to come over and see what he was talking about!  She had three different sizes, small, medium and large.  And you know I had to have one.  I chose the small size as I was starting to get concerned about how much stuff I would have in my suitcase on the way home.
