Day 33 (Aug 26, 2024) King's Point, NL to Twillingate, NL

We got an early start from King's Point as we had heard good things about Twillingate and the hikes sounded amazing on AllTrails.  In total we hiked about 7 miles in Twillingate across 2 different hikes with a quick sandwich from a small cafe in between.

Our first hike was Spillers Cove via Twillingate's French Beach - although we did get a little lost at the end and added a little extra mileage to get to our car. (Based on the comments in AllTrails we were not the first to do that.)  This was truly an amazing hike- the views were impressive from the beginning, with steep climbs among the cliffs and a few sections through shady woods. We thought we would be able to complete the hike in an hour, but we quickly realized that wasn't going to happen - we kept stopping to admire the views.

The second hike was called Nanny Hole and Long Point Lighthouse, which also had a different set of amazing cliff views, small beaches and fields to walk through. This one was a pretty crowded at the top as the parking lot was shared with the Lighthouse museum. Perhaps the biggest surprise was a FaceTime call from Ivan in London making us realize just how much technology has changed our world. Regardless, it was fun to talk to him. 

Tonight we are having beers in the Captain's Pub before dinner at Georgie's in our hotel, the Anchor Inn.  

Beautiful, easy drive from Kings Point to Twillingate (161 miles)
