Now this is getting remote …

Corner Brook is a small settlement on the wild west coast of the island of Newfoundland. As we cruised in, in the middle of summer, snow lay on the hills nearby …

… pretty villages along the waterfront of the fjord.

On the dock a pair of the symbolic dogs! Jan became sentimental for Lulu, the Newfie she owned when we first met …

We hired a car … visited a nearby memorial to James Cook who spent years exploring these parts (he got around didn’t he!) …

… good view of town from here (and the ship again!)

The car broke … oil leaking, smoke rising … hmmmm …

We went back and quickly received a replacement and set off exploring …

… past meadows and mountains …

… along the fjord …

… to Fisherman’s Cove …

… where Jan was amused by these … Papa, Mama, big baby and tiny baby!

… to a rocky river …

… where we walked and found this family fishing …

Then this remote house and this little “hotel” …

Towards the end of the road we found York Harbour

… and Lark Harbour

And at the very end, Little Port and Bottle Cove

Around these parts the winter can last 8 or 9 months, so they need to keep warm. This guy seemed to have things under control in that regard … enough firewood, do you think?
