Within\u00a0Terra Nova National Park<\/a>, we hiked the Ochre Hill Trail and the\u00a0Ochre Hill Pond Trail<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0At the top of Ochre Hill sits a fire tower which people can climb (to a certain point) should they want a higher view.\u00a0\u00a0Continuing from the fire tower a bit further, there is a large viewing platform that provides one with spectacular 360-degree views on a clear day, and this day happened to be one of them!\u00a0\u00a0Moving on from the platform, we came across two red chairs, and decided to sit a for a few moments enjoying the view.\u00a0\u00a0The Ochre Hill Pond Trail offered a leisurely walk through the woods and around one of the Ochre Hill Ponds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We only had a one-night stay at\u00a0Newman Sound Campground<\/a>\u00a0within Terra Nova National Park, which provided us with a restful and enjoyable evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon leaving the National Park, we stopped in Gander for a matinee performance of the play, \u201cCome From Away<\/a>\u201d, which was over the top amazing.   If traveling through the area, it is worth seeing this amazing play.  After the play, we stopped for the night at Samson\u2019s Retreat<\/a> – our favorite AirBnb in Newfoundland.  Thanks Debbie and Bill, for a most comfortable stay at your lovely retreat \u2013 a true blanket of kindness!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel often, stay safe, well, and happy!<\/p>\n\n\n
