Newfoundland, Canada - Discover this Hidden Gem!!

#newfoundland #travelcouple #vanlife
This week we do the unexpected in Newfoundland!! Niether of us had ever Ziplined before and it certainly wasn't something that we ever thought of adding to a Canada Summer Vacation itinerary before!! We are so glad that we did! Epic views and another moody, Newfoundland day were in store for us.
Before we get zip-lining, we do a cool hike in Blow Me Down Provincial Park. (You just have to love the names of places in Newfoundland!! ) We find a hidden staircase and some nice viewpoints from the trail. We spend another night boondocking on a quiet harbour across from the park. We ate homemade pizza (made in the van!!) on the beach and had a great sleep!
We also get off the beaten path and end up on Pilley's Island at an Inn & Brewery that allows their customers to Boondock for the night. The town is charming, the brews AND their food is amazing, and the hospitality is second to none.
We leave early the next morning and get on a quick ferry to visit the stunning and unique Fogo Island. Fogo Island is stunning, with landscapes, wildlife, art and architecture that keeps you wantng to explore this island.
Newfoundland just keeps exceeding our expectations around every big bend and over every mountain crest. This province is stunningly beautiful, with rich history, friendly, salt of the earth people and an energy that you cannot explain unless you have been here. We are so excited to be bringing you this series of videos from Newfoundland because it truly is one of our favourite "vacations" to date.
Hope you enjoy! Until next week,
Cheers!! 🥂

Incredible to host a pleasure to serve... Captain Clearly Imperial Red was the night's big favourite. Best travels ever you two...see you down the road!

[@mitchandjan]

It paired well with the seafood chowder and seafood linguine! LOL. Thank you Natalie - see you down the road for sure! ❤️

[@msfranklin1550]

Great Video! What a nice spot to visit. Looks like you are having a blast.

[@mitchandjan]

All of Newfoundland is beautiful and different and we wish we spent the entire summer here!! Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@x-cskilover225]

Best video. Loved all the stuff you did. Makes me want to go there!

[@mitchandjan]

Thanks John!! You HAVE to go!! Do it! Make it a plan for next summer LOL. Thanks for always watching and leaving us a comment John! Love your support. ❤️

Zip lining! My favourite thing to hate. I’ve done it once and that will be it. Smokey Mountains Tennessee. Longest line is 1500ft. Needless to say I had to buy the harness! Great job guys! Looks like you are having an amazing time. We really do live in a spectacularly beautiful country. ❤

[@mitchandjan]

Bahahahah!! OMG Tracey! These guys were so great and the scenery was amazing! It wasn't on our list of things to do, but that is the magic of travelling with others. You end up doing things that you normally wouldn't and we are so grateful for them! We really do live in a beautifully diverse and magical country. Its just so big - so much exploring left to do and yet so many places we want to return! ❤️

Guys we couldn't stop until we finished what you have for Newfoundland tonight lol. Great job with the zip lining, had plans on getting to Bumble Bee Brewery this year but plans fell through, hopefully next year. I spent a lot of time in Fogo over my working career I was responsible for Telecommunications network and internet and cellular service on the island for over 20 years. Still enjoy visiting there lol. I saw the Fogo Island Inn being built from Rock up it's pretty unique. What can I say you captured the Island really well we are enjoying your videos this evening. Have a great week guys.

[@mitchandjan]

Hahaha! We are so happy to hear that you binge watched our Newfoundland series!! LOL. Thank you for saying that we captured Fogo well, that is a great compliment coming from a local. You MUST make it to Bumblebee next time. Its a very cool spot and a lovely area - so scenic! Thanks you so much for your encouraging comments and feedback. Have a great week! Cheers!🍻

[@jeffhelsdingen4354]

Haha, we were right behind you going onto the ferry to Fogo. Interesting that they charged you $30, we only paid $20 and our van is a bit bigger. We boondocked at the park with the trailhead for the Great Auk walk and crossed paths again that morning. We were also about 3 vehicles behind you leaving Fogo. My wife saw your van later in Bonavista at the Jason museum too.

[@mitchandjan]

Hahaha! We think that we remember your rig because we kept seeing you in and around Fogo LOL. (Were you also in Dildo after Bonavista? If its you, we saw your rig there as well LOL) Hope you had a great visit. We certainly did not plan a long enough trip in Newfoundland in our opinion. Thanks for watching!! Cheers!!

[@jeffhelsdingen4354]

@@mitchandjan yeah, Dildo after Bonavista. We figured if we were going all the way to Newfoundland we were staying for a while. Our visit was 7 weeks less a weekend in Labrador. Just in the last legs of the trip now. Couple more days in New Brunswick then a few in Quebec and then home to Ontario.

Whoever picked the intro music, gets full marks and brownie points ❤

[@mitchandjan]

Woohoo! Thanks for the feedback. Jan picked that catchy intro music. LOL

[@DesiGoatFarmer]

@@mitchandjan You guys will go far and get better. Stay at it. KZbin is not a sprint, it's a marathon. So much content but if you find your niche, that'll be it. Good Luck

[@mitchandjan]

@@DesiGoatFarmer wow, thank you so much!! We are having lots of fun with this and love the learning and exploring. Thank you for the kind and encouraging message!! ❤

Hey Mitch and Jan, Hope you are enjoying your Newfoundland journey. We are following your adventure. I have a question for you, can you recommend any boondocking sites around North Bay and towards Temagami? We are taking our first ever RV camping trip,for 1 week in a rented Class C and really would like to do the wild camping way to see if it is something we enjoy. Thanks!

[@mitchandjan]

Hello! Thanks so much for following us along! So exciting for you guys to be doing a week of vacation in an RV. We have not stayed at any spots between North Bay and Temagami, but there are definitely a few spots on Crown Land (not just Walmart parking lots LOL). We would suggest that you download an app called "ioverlander" . It is a free app and shows you all kinds of great spots - from wild camping to informal camping (Walmart, Home Depot) and legit campgrounds. It has information, reviews, directions and even pictures on most wild camping (boondocking) spots. We have definitely seen a few between North Bay and Temagami that we would like to check out. *Look around Wilson Lake Road near Temagami, once you download the app. Hope this helps! Have the most fun!! Thanks again for watching along and let us know if you have anymore questions. We will be heading back up to Kap in September. Would love to hear your feedback on any spots you find or stay at! Cheers!

[@annehoogendyk8742]

@@mitchandjan Thanks and we will let you know how we make out.
