twillingate to bonavista

The road from twillingate to Bonavista was good, we followed the coast around until we got back onto the main highway then traveled until the turn off to Bonavista.
Again we followed the coast out to the end of the peninsula where Bonavista was.
The town of Bonavista was a lot bigger than most of the towns we had seen, it also had a crab processing factory in the middle of town so was a bit of a smell from it.
Again we headed out to the light house to have a look before heading to the B&B we where staying at. After settling in we drove around town and had a look at the old building from the 1700's & 1800's they also had the biggest wooden church in north America. We went to have a look at the Matthew a replica of the boat that John Cabot sailed to Newfoundland in about 1497, but as usual the place was closed we are use to that around here.
We had dinner and then went back to the B&B and talked to the owners for a bit before heading off to bed.
