The road out of the ferry terminal goes pretty much straight up (Welcome to the Rock!), and then rolls. The scenery is extremely beautiful and the highway isn't too bad. I was among the first off the boat and was a little tempted to just rock it straight into St John's - but I figured if I did that I'd miss out on actually getting to see Nfld as the light was fading. Keep pushing that hammerhead mentality down and chill.
I had pseudo-planned to stop in a little town shortly after Argentia, but I was enjoying riding and not paying too much attention - so I missed it. I ended up camping in pretty much the only option there is between the ferry and very close to St John's (not including stealth camping options).
A shower (this campsite has "shower times" - 2hrs in the AM and 2hrs in the PM. If you miss them the lights are off and there's very little water - but if you wait long enough it does eventually warm up. Very strange...), one last dinner of packet mee and assorted camp food, and I was off to bed.
The Rock!
"Welcome to Newfoundland" (I hope you like climbing)
Stunning scenery...
Camp - one last time (and yes, I'm aware that my tarp isn't taut - I fixed it before bed)
