Newfoundland’s Lighthouse Route – Part II
In my first post from Newfoundland and Labrador I hoped to convince readers entering the province by ferry at Port aux Basques as most tourists do, not to simply drive to the well known attractions of Gros Morne, but to spend some time exploring southwest Newfoundland by way of Newfoundland’s Lighthouse Route. In this post […]

The Granite Coast – Start Exploring the Rock
It’s our first full day in Newfoundland and Labrador and Alison and I are eager to get started exploring. We have a jam packed two week schedule that will take us to Labrador and the top of the Great Northern Peninsula. Along the way we will visit three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a national park, […]

Point Prim – Five Great Reasons to Visit
Point Prim is a long finger of land that juts out from the south coast of Prince Edward Island and forms the eastern boundary of Hillsborough Bay. At its tip sits the oldest and in my opinion best lighthouse on the island so that’s reason enough to take the short detour off the Trans-Canada Highway […]

Peggys Cove Kerfuffle – Decide for Yourself
I live in St. Margaret’s Bay and visit nearby Peggys Cove several times a year, most recently on a beautiful and sunny New Year’s day. I try to be there when the number of visitors is minimal which is usually in winter. BTW, I’m not using the apostrophe in Peggys Cove because Google hates them. […]

Cape Wrath – Scotland’s Must Do Daytrip
In a previous post I described why driving Scotland’s North Coast 500 was an absolute imperative for anyone who has an interest in great coastal drives of the world. One of the places I recommended as a must visit was Cape Wrath, the most northwesterly point of mainland Britain. It is remote and you can’t […]

Klein Curacao – Curacao’s Beautiful Little Sister
If you look at the flag of Curaçao you’ll see a big star and a little star. The big star is Curaçao and the little star is the tiny island of Klein Curacao which simply means Little Curaçao. A day trip visit to Klein Curacao to walk its beautiful sand beach, swim and snorkel in […]

Heceta Lighthouse B&B – Best in Oregon?
I must confess to not usually being a big fan of B&Bs, so I was a bit leery when the itinerary on a post SATW tour of the Willamette Valley and central Oregon coast included a stay at Heceta Lighthouse B&B. In retrospect my doubts were asinine and now I can tell my readers why. […]
