Deer Lake to Black Duck (115 km)

What a difference. One day ago we took a tour on very rough sea to watch the icebergs from close. It was one of the most impressive things we have ever seen. They look so clean and peaceful from far, but when you are close they are massive, break of and are very, very hard. The sea was full of them, even a big cruiseship could not go into St. Anthony because of the enormous number of icebergs just here. The Titanic went down not far from Newfoundland, after seeing these icebergs, I can very well imagine, that a ship can hardly survive a hit. See the little film.

And then, Sunday we went on with our tour on bicyles. Cloudless skies, a hot buring sun (26 degrees)and a headwind that blew us from dream to nightmare. It took 6 and a half hours to get to the next hotel. It was a leg with almost no places to rest in between, we drove through forest and forest and forest. In Newfounland live just 500´000 people, but th island is 9 times bigger that Switzerland where now more than 7 million live. It´s incredible how empty the place is and we have to be very carefully to always reach the next place to stay.
Just before Katrin´s battery was flat we passed a little roadrestaurant, thanks God! The evening we spent in a little lodge on a salmon river, had supper with a golddigger and slept wonderful.
PS: The most difficult part of the trip until now are our bottoms..... sitting becomes something to consider carefuly.
