We set off from Corner Brook in the rain and cool temperatures, but throughout the day the rain stopped and the temperature went up to about 21C. We stopped at Humber Valley Resort, the million dollar plus development close to Marble Mountain where Oprah Winfrey is said to have a home. Then we continued our journey up to Gros Morne. We camped at Trout River at the south end of the park. Our first view of the Tablelands was quite spectacular. We drove past sweet little towns such as Glenburnie, Birchy Head, and Shoal Brook and the scenery was amazing. We did a couple of hikes - Lookout Trail just behind the Woody Point Interpretation Centre and had a wonderful view over the land below. Then we did a hike around the base of the Tablelands. We had dinner in a small restaurant on the beach in Trout River after which we went for a fabulous walk along the boardwalk, watched the people fishing for cod, took some pictures of the fish huts which all came out blurred because it was too dark. Then back to the camp site, and cuddled up in my thermal underwear as pyjamas and slept a long, calm sleep.
