Being from Newfoundland but living away from home for the last 21 years, I have to say something to promote my island. We took a short trip last year from Port aux Basques(home town) to Gander and back. It took us four days, all the time we could spare, with a tour around the Gander loop for sight seeing. Great views where ever you look, moose, caribou and of course lots ice bergs. A couple of suggestions though when riding the rock, slow down for it is moose country and I mean the whole island. If it rains and it probably will at some point watch for the water ruts, this is where I recommend driving in the center of your lane. But most of all do stop and strike up a conversation with the locals, they don't bite and don't be surprised if you are invited back for a mug up(lunch). Enjoy the ride.
