TR: Newfoundland – Fortune (19 Aug 2010)

Posted by – August 23, 2010

After hitting up the St. John’s area of Newfoundland where we also saw Signal Hill and Cape Spear, we then headed south down to Marystown and then Fortune. Fortune appears a bit stark at first.

But, if you look a bit closer, you’ll find the real beauty that Fortune has to offer.

With a history linked back to fishing, those lost at sea are deeply remembered.

We were in Fortune to catch the ferry over to St. Pierre, an island that remains a colony of France.
