Blogging Across Canada (sort of) Part 1

My favourite thing is travel. I have a desire to see as much of the world as I can. I know it's going to take a long time, but I plan on seeing all of the places on my list.

As a proud Canadian and geographer, one of my main goals is to travel to every Canadian province and territory and see as much of Canada as I can. I started this journey in 2005 when I decided to go out east. I travelled to all 4 maritime provinces in eleven days.

As I'd been to PEI before, I spent very little time there this trip. I saw many of the highlights on main land (Bay of Fundy, Hartford Bridge, and Flower Pots) before I headed to Newfoundland and Labrador on the ferry. The ferry blew my mind. I'd been on ferries before, but never one this big. It had a full cafeteria, arcade, bar, movie theatre, and many other ways to keep yourself entertained for the 6 hour trip.

Newfoundland and Labrador is my favourite province. I like it so much that I considered moving there. Maybe one day.

You may have heard that it's a foggy place, and I can tell you it is. My first night there, after setting up my campsite, I headed to the nearest town to check it out. I was pretty disappointed, as it was so foggy I didn''t see anything (literally). The pictures below show the before and after shots of my campground.

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but even though I have a degree in geography, I didn't know that Newfoundland had mountains. Now that I know, I can make sure all of my students know.

Newfoundland is a much bigger province than I thought, so I didn't get a chance to see very much of it. I guess I'll just have to go back again :)
