Fog and cold weather today, what a contrast from the heat and warm sunny day yesterday

We went for a long drive up the Trans Canadian Highway to Clarenville and then back via the Cape Shore to Placentia.

Above Placentia is Castle Hill National Historic site. We had a tour of the fortifications and the artefacts found there. It was so interesting and  the views were picturesque. This is where there is a fort and cannons defending the fishing town. In turn the French defeated the English and vice versa. Eventually the English took the fortress. They had 2 flags flying the 17th century British flag which was without the Scottish part on it and the French flag which was white in those days.  

   
  We saw where the cod was prepared and dried out on the cobble beach.

 We still haven’t seen a moose! BUT when we got home we had roast moose, roast potatoes and vegetables with gravy. It tasted very like roast beef but darker meat and a slightly different taste and texture. We really enjoyed it and would eat it again.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Xxxxxxxx
