Day 14 Grand Falls - Windsor to Twillingate

 Sep 17 Grand Falls Windsor - Twillingate 150 km

Weather Temp

Twillingate Islands are linked to the main island through a series of four causeways, two bridges and several miles of road via New World Island, while Fogo Island is accessible only by ferry.

Mileage is a suggestion as we generally find somewhere to detour.

We are on the Road to the Isles.

We thought we could drive down to the ferry but the road becomes the lanes for the ferry.

A sign of a harsh winter? They head their homes with wood.

We drove through Lewisporte. 

Newfoundland's biggest fishing and hunting store.

Birchy Bay

Stoneville pop 298.

Moreton's Harbour - we stopped here because I had read that their sign mentioned the song Ise The B'y. We didn't find it.

A giant elastic band in Carter's Cove.

We made a quick stop to check out Sansome for lunch tomorrow.

We've reached the Twillingate Islands.

New World Island is an island in Notre Dame Bay, just off the coast. The island is connected to Newfoundland by a causeway.

We get checked into the Anchor Inn for two nights and go for a drive.

French Beach and it was breezy!!

We were going to do the winery tomorrow but happened upon on our way.

Click here for the wines and here for some signs from the Ack Island Winery.

The Auk Island Winery is one of only two wineries in Newfoundland. Since Newfoundland is not a province that is friendly to grapes, the Auk Island winery makes its wines entirely with local varieties of fruit.




While fruit wine isn’t uncommon, it’s far from unique. What makes Auk Island Winery so special is the water that they use within many of their best wines. Greenland’s glaciers are date back over 10,000 years, making the ice that has arrived in Newfoundland and Labrador some of the purest water available. The Auk Island Winery harvests these icebergs and uses pure, clean water as the base for many of their delicious wines.

Time to relax before dinner and a show.
