One of the things about my trip is that it was taking place just as the Newfoundland tourist season starts, in other words once everything is just starting to open for the summer but before the influx happens and/or schools break for the holidays. This meant that I kept bumping into the same folks in a number of places, at least in the west of the island - kept seeing the folks from the Western Brook Pond boat trip on a regular basis, then other folks where I'd stayed at the same B&B, ate at the same restaurant...
In general terms that wasn't a problem and it got quite funny at times, though there was one group of folks that bugged the crap out of me - two couples visiting from 'Trono' (a very nasal pronunciation of Toronto) where I would have bludgeoned one of the guys to death in his sleep if I'd had to travel with him. Most of the folks travelling were retired couples, but as a solo traveller you get used to that!
( And here are the pics... )
Next post, there will be icebergs! :P
