NEWFOUNDLAND and MONTREAL

We spent two weeks travelling in Newfoundland and Montreal. It was a return trip to Newfoundland and it coincided with the Montreal Grand Prix where we met up with Philip and Yvonne who flew in from Halifax for the weekend.



There is a four and a half hour time difference between Comox and Newfoundland so it makes for a long days travel. As a result we were up early (like 3.a.m.) as we were travelling on an Aeroplan ticket starting from Nanaimo and to get to the east coast we had an early flight at 6.10 a.m. For some strange reason although the local Vancouver flight with Central Mountian Air is code-shared with Air Canada you can't use Aeroplan points and this little convenient flight is rather expensive unless you are going on elsewhere on a paid flight. So we saw dawn break as we journeyed down Island.

First flight was to Vancouver, a quick up and down across the straight. Then the long flight to Toronto, on to Halifax where we waited for the last connection of the day. It was really raining in Halifax and the last flight was the only one delayed all day. To board you cross the tramac, a rather wet dash. We ended up in Deer Lake on the west coast of Newfoundland around 1.00 a.m but the rental car desk lady was kindly waiting for us and we were soon at our first B and B.
