So we went to Newfoundland with K&W had a great time inspite of Halifax airport. We drove to the airport from home, K&W flew there. We scouted the place to see where to pick them up but couldn't see a passenger pick up SO when they arrived and phoned we said at the park & fly post. As we approached the post, a commissionare stops all the traffic to allow people to go to the parking lot we were about 6 cars back and right near the post. As K&W approaach the truck the truck a 2nd commossionare rushes over and says "no loading here" we ask "where do we pickup" he replies "no loading here" we say "where can we load" he replies " no loading here" then on his shoulder mike he calls in my license number. I figure that we have been found guilty so I say "get in" which they did . we then sat & waited for another minute before the first guy lets traffic go. I now was expecting that we would get a ticket when we got home. We didn't hold up traffic, they apparently don't have a designated pickup area but have some illiterate knuckle dragger who's vocabulary is limited to "no loading here" as the only source of information.

I was pissed about it for the next 2 weeks, we didn't get a ticket when we got home and the illiterate knuckle dragger won.

We went up & down the west coast seeing great sights, meeting great people, some of whom T&T had met before. Had some rain & fog, and just had fun. Along the the way K got to drive tent pegs into rocky ground many times, which was fun to witness but the language was shocking. We ate lots of fresh cod ( pronounced Cad ) andfresh scall0ps .

We drove east toward St John's and up to Twillingate then to Herring Neck where we knew that a couple from N.Y. we had met while waiting to board the ferry, were going to stay. They had a sailboat and told us they were going to sail it there even though they had never sailed before.
we found the sailboat sitting on its trailer on a hill. End of story. We speculate that he talked her into believng that was the intention BUT he drowned her, sold the boat, collected the insurance and is living under an assumed name in Mexico.

While in the area we went to mortens harbour and to the ferry dock to Fogo.
SO Fogo, Twillingate, Mortens Harbour all around the circle.

After our detective work at Herring Neck, we continued on to St John's and toured there then took K&W to the uneventful St John's airport.

We then visited friends that we met on our previous trip to N.L. and back home.

At home we found no bill from Halifax airport SO no point in writing to N.S. tourism and the illiterate knuckle dragger wins.
