Day 34. Sept 9, 2013. On through Newfoundland!

Drove from central Newfoundland to Eastern side.  It is a big island, much bigger than PEI.  I'm learning about geography!  

We are in a part of the island that was recommended from the book "1000 places to see before you die".  We are staying in this campsite 2 nights, and will explore the peninsula.  This area has cute fishing villages with interesting names....Tickle Cove, Happy Adventure, Trouty, Heart's Content, Heart's Desire, and Come By Chance.  We walked around Trinity which has been restored to look like it did 300 years ago.

For dinner, we wanted to finish the dried cod (3rd meal).  We made cod cakes, which is common here....reconstituted cod, eggs, bread crumbs, onion, and potatoes.  The fire pit was not too good....made from an old washing machine steel tub.  We don't have electricity at this site.  So after trying to brown the cod cakes unsuccessfully over the fire, I put them on the mini George Forman grill and used an outlet in the bathroom.  When we were preparing for this trip, I didn't know what to take for sure.  The George Forman grill seemed a bit frivolous, but has served us well.  The cod turned out quite well, especially with hot sauce! We also made some hard-boiled eggs in the electric teapot for breakfast tomorrow.
