Eastern Canada, Here we Come – St Barbe’s, Newfoundland -2025- Part 1

We had to be at the ferry by 830 and we were there earlier and so was everyone else because the ferry actually left 10 minutes early. We drove our truck/trailer on but you are not allowed to stay in your vehicle so up on the deck we went. The photo above is the view of St Barbe’s Newfoundland as we approach the docks. We stayed at St Barbe’s RV Park which was a 2 minute drive from the ferry. RV Park is a bit of a misnomer as it was a huge gravel parking lot but we had stayed here before on another trip and it was okay. There is our trailer below on the right. It was $45 a night with electricity and water and there was showers and laundry in a building to the left.

After setting up, we drove to Pond Cove and got gas at $1.56 a litre, passed through some other little spots until we got to Englee. (population approximately 480)

  • They had this cute chair right by the water for tourists
  • Trum horsing around
  • A wrecked dock
  • Some people have pet dogs…..
  • A horrible story about 77 men who died on the ice while sealing because there ship left thinking they were on it
  • We saw this sea spray and knew it was whales
  • If you look closely, there are 2 whales out there. We could not get close and they were a long way away but still cool to see them
  • A trail that we did not do
  • Landscape
  • An iceberg that we saw from a distance and I tried to get a photo out of the truck window as we were driving, not a great shot

While we were driving around Englee, a local told us to go to Conche to see the WWII plane wreck and so we did.

  • Heading to Conche
  • A boardwalk leads to a plane wreck in a field beside the town, everyone survived
  • It has been left as it looked when it crashed
  • A small storage shed in the town

Stayed tuned for the only caribou I will see on this trip, or a part of one…..

  3. Tofino is right, the aircraft is looking rather picked over. Hi Trum! I love the scenery way up there, beautiful and I’ve never seen an ice burg in person, they are amazing. I see plenty of Canadian Shield Rock there. 🇨🇦❤️
