Gros Morne- the Great Canadian Washout

You'd think with three days in Gros Morne it wouldn't rain all of them.   You'd be wrong.
Even in the rain we could tell this place was special.

that overhead door is how we get out- second to last vehicle off the ferry too.

the rain starts soon

We made two attempts at the Western Brook Pond boat ride but it was raining so hard that we chickened out.  Found out later, the boats weren't running anyways due to the low cloud ceiling [below the mountain tops]

Instead, we opted for a couple of board games at the Sunset Cafe which now stands as the benchmark for which all future fresh cod dishes will be measured.  It is that good.   That being said, the service has a lot to be desired.  Jean wanted to get up and help the wait staff that's how bad it was.

Rain again over night just to finish off the visit here.
