Newfoundland trip '07 - updated

Post by bull77 »

Just got back from a month on the road touring the island. Racked up almost 11,000kms on the Vibe and enjoyed every minute. With the load we were carrying the car felt snug on the road - makes me want to get it lowered.Here's some pics of the tripCape Bonavista -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_BonavistaHarbour Mille -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_Bay

I will definitely bring my vibe for this trip too. How you find the driving?The trip to PEI is part of my reason for buying the Vibe.

The Vibe gets a work out on some on the hills in NB and NL. I didn't make it to PEI this year, but we're already planning another trip out east for next summer.It takes about 18hrs to get to the ferry in NS (from Ott) and then another 8hrs to drive across NL. I'd highly recommend making the drive out - great place to spend some time

I love the coloured houses in St. John's, but the hills are killer on the calves
