Deer Lake to Twilingate

We spent the night in Deer Lake in Lake view B&B one of the flashest B&B's we have stayed in on the holiday. In the morning we talked to the owner after breakfast and then got on the road to twillingate, the drive was not really the most exciting as we were drive along the Trans Canada highway which runs through the middle of Newfoundland. We turned off the main highway and again found ourselves travelling through lots of little fishing villages along the way.
One of the strangest things we have seen is the lots of piles of wood cut sitting on the sides of the road where ever we go, everyone seems to go into the bush and cut down there firewood and stack it on the side of the road.
The town of twillingate was bigger than we thought it was going to be, The town is actually at the end of about 3 islands all connected by causeways.
We drove around and found the lighthouse and a good view to see the ice berges, there seemed to be a constant flow of people coming out to look.
We checked into the motel and then got dinner in a small dinner, i think we were the odd ones in there because everyone seemed to look it us.
After dinner we watched the sun set and took lots of pictures before heading back to the motel and bed.
