Today we woke to lighter clouds and the promise of sunshine. We had a reservation for a picnic at a lighthouse. Before we left, we finally saw the people in the one other RV here. The license plate said Texas. The man said he was really from South Carolina. Home! They are full timers, use Texas as a residence, but lived many years in northern South Carolina. After a few minutes, I knew he wasn't from SC. He was from Pittsburgh. Home!
We left to drive about 1/2 hour to the town of Ferryland. It has some fame for the Ferryland Lighthouse Picnics. We had a reservation. We knew it was a walk to the lighthouse. We parked at the bottom of the hill and could see the lighthouse way ahead. The sign said 1.9 km. We started walking.
We saw some beautiful scenery along the way.
This is the Atlantic Ocean.
More to see along the walk.
We are getting closer.
Some warnings along the way.
Finally see the lighthouse. The sky is a little brighter.
The picnic is somewhat famous. It has been written about in newspapers and magazines.
We finally saw some tourists. We thought we were the only ones on the island. While not crowded at all, the reservations are full for the month of July. If you plan on coming, it is waitlist only.
There are only a few choices: three kinds of sandwiches, comes with salad, lemonade and a choice of dessert. We go outside and our lunch is brought in a basket.
This is our basket. Sandwiches are under the dessert plates.
This is our view sitting on the rocks.
It started to cloud up and get windy and we thought we had better finish up and head down the hill. Les bought a hand knitted cap with a puffin. Kept him warm on the windy walk down.
At the bottom of the hill was the tiny harbor.
We had a lovely day at the Ferryland Lighthouse Picnic.
