Black flies in NFLD are nothing compared to those in Northern Ontario. The black flies there are so big that one landed on my window ledge one night & kicked in my window screen, lol.
Gros Morne is beautiful. The 10th century Viking settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows is fascinating (too bad Canada refused to issue any commemorative coins or stamps in 2000 for the 1000th anniversary of this world heritage site, but we did get one for Canadian Tire’s 75th anniversary).
Enjoy.

@spitfire9b funny you should respond now after 3 months. Cause we moved up the trip and will be in Port Aux Basques mon morning. We tried to avoid the black flies and we wanted to see icebergs although it looks like we will have to go to St Anthonys for that. We were hoping to avoid the Northern peninsula and save some travel time. Only a few bergs in Twillngate and the other town west of there the name escapes me. We”ll be kayaking with stan cook on tues or wed and gros morne by sat the12

Please ignore atlanticeagle’s comments. If you are going to Newfoundland, seeing St. John’s is a must. St John’s is a Celtic city with mutlinational tastes, many fine restaurants offering local and international cuisine. Corner Brook is beautiful but doesn’t have the variety of scenery or the amenities of St John’s. Actually, you should try to see as much of the island as possible. You won’t regret it!

Im excited…ive booked the ferry to go over and see my BF this August, for 2 whole weeks. If I could, I would move there, with my daughter…but I have such a great job in Ontario. Ive heard nothing but terrific things about NFLD the people, the landscape (is like Ireland) the food, the culture. I cant wait..its a trip of a lifetime.
@pciochetto I’d …
@pciochetto I’d avoid St. John’s and try to stick to driving around the island and explore. You could always also try Cornerbrook… it’s much less touristy, but is an amazing city with a lot to do.
I think it is one of the most beautiful and laid back places I have ever been. It is only about an hour away from Gros Morne National Park which is an amazing place. Trail systems run through town, a short drive out of town and you can be in the bush.
Hope this helps! Have a great trip!

drive a hour to feel like your in a totally different place. It’s simply amazing.
I know there are other amazing places in the world has well which I would dearly love to see someday. But seriously come to Newfoundland for the experience of a lifetime. It is simply amazing and beautiful and unique!!

I was born in Newfoundland. I have only left the province once when I was a infant, so that count. Even though I never left this island of beauty somehow I know im blessed to be born and raised here. Our magical culture, food and beautiful scenery. This is the place God first had planned to make the garden of Eden. lol
But seriously if you wanted to visit a culurally rich place look no further. I live here and I myself think NL is amazing. You could go shopping in St. Johns and

Hi, for those of you who want to see more of Newfoundland, can check documentary film I made during my visit in summer of 2007. I didn’t find any movie online for free so I made this one and posted it. just search for “Newfoundland through eyes of a foreigner” and you will get links to youtube trailer where you can find link to official website in the description on right side, too.
