| I visited Newfoundalnd as a tourist in 1984, and camped for several
days at Gros Morne National Park, on the west coast of the island. The
natural beauty is spectacular. I would definitely recommend a visit.

| Gros Morne National Park, Canada's most recent addition to the National
Park family. I have been to this one, and it is great. Don't expect
many "tourist" type things to do. When I was there in 1988 there was
only one bank machine on the island. It was in St.Jhon's (or is it the
one without the "S") which was only 11 hours away by motorcycle. I went
to the bank the next day during business hours. If you make it there,
be sure to check out the "fiord ponds", and red mountains.

| 737.3 | Newfoundland - great place to visit | KAOOA::MACLELLAN | the_moose_is_loose_in_hull | Wed Sep 01 1993 12:42 | 24 |
| make certain you make reservations for the ferry from North Sydney to
Newfoundland. You cannot get from PEI direct to Newfoundland.
Marine Atlantic is the company, and I believe they have a 1-800 number
for you to call for reservations.
If you go to St.John's, the downtown was 'pub heavan' at one time (I
haven't been there is 3 years) There at one time was something like 60
pubs in downtown St.John's. St.John's is a great little city and you'll
have a lot of fun. Not sure how the downturn in the fisheries has
affected it though. When in Newfoundland, try the local beers - some of
them are pretty good. As well, get yourself "Screeched in" if you can.
PEI is rather laid back, and it's only 120 miles long. Great for
driving a motorcycle on. You'll be going at a time when a lot of the
tourist traps are just beginning to wind down for the summer too.
There use to be a great Irish pub in Charlottetown - can't remember the
name though.
You should have a good time.

Never been on the Ferry's up north but I "trip" with my scoot to
South Nova Scotia at least once a year...biggest thing to verify
on the ferry to Novi is make sure the scoot is braced or tied up
securely and that there are no overhead leaks..other wise insist
they park you elsewhere. Most biking in the maritimes is a pure
delight....no cagers trying to deal yoi in to their mental problems.
let me know if you plan to go south to Novi.
