Hi Doreen had a phone call from her friend this morning to tell her that there was a large iceberg passing by her part of the coast and that it was breaking up. We followed Ken and Doreen to the area and were really excited to see the icebergs in the fog rain and cold wind! (Also when we got back to their home later on in the day you could see another ice berg from their garden in the bay near them!) 

       It is 8c and very cold and rainy today. What a shock to the system..winter clothes. We had to find things to do inside in the warm and dry.

We went to the geocentre under Signal Hill. It was so interesting geology,anthropology, archeology,history,space,astronomy, 3D films, titanic story……… All about Newfoundland. It was sponsored by the oil industry and the whole exhibition must have cost millions. 

 We then went to a fluvarium. It is a section of a running river sliced off with windows to look through to see the ecosystem and trout swimming by in the weeds. So it is the river in action. Also frogs, toads and eels were there to see. 

About 4.30pm it stopped raining and Vince and I went shopping in St Johns. We needed trainers as our sandals are letting in the rain 

P.S. We left Vancouver at the right time. There are now huge forest fires with smoke drifting all over Vancouver and Vancouver Island and still high temperatures and no sign of rain!

Counting the days to see you all now missing you all but enjoying Newfoundland lots of love Grandma and Grandaddy xxxxxx
