Exploring the Fossils of Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve, Newfoundland and Labrador
Recently, my Dad and I took a two hour drive south from St. Johns to Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve. Named because it was a navigational hazard mistaken for Cape Race, it is one of the world's most significant fossil sites. Here you can find the oldest complex life forms anywhere on Earth. The main fossil layer preserves the ecology of a 565-million-year-old deep sea community.
The global importance of Mistaken Point has not gone unnoticed. It has been added to the Canadian tentative list of potential UNESCO World Heritage properties. Mistaken Point hopes to join Gros Morne National Park, on the west coast of Newfoundland, with this designation because of its geological importance.
Dad and I went with Richard, the reserve's manager, to tour the fossils and were more than impressed with what we saw and learned, despite the weather. Access to the fossils is by guided tour only from late May to early October. To find out about seeing these incredible fossils yourself, call the Interpretive Centre in Portugal Cove South (709) 438-1100 and ask to speak to one of the Reserve's Interpreters.
Hiking the Lighthouse Trail in Cow Head, Newfoundland
The Cow Head Lighthouse trail will appeal to a wide range of hikers since it is just 1.5 km long and has many lookouts and a great side trail to the rocky shore line. The 500 meter (1 way) side trail to the tip of the peninsula is also well worth doing since it ends in a broad meadow and an interesting wave washed shoreline. The museum in Cow Head has maps of the trail.

Mouth Watering ARGENTINE SEAFOOD Lunch! | Visiting PUERTO MADRYN, Argentina:
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a travel vlogging couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
We had the privilege of traveling around Argentina for nearly 3 months from January- April 2019 on a trip covering a large section of the country.
We kicked things off with several days in Buenos Aires where we were joined by Audrey's parents eating and sightseeing around some of our favourite neighbourhoods in the city. We then flew from Buenos Aires to Cordoba where we spent a couple of weeks in the Sierras of Cordoba visiting both La Cumbrecita and Villa General Belgrano with highlights including hiking and delicious German and Swiss cuisine.
From Cordoba, we then travelled a considerable distance on an overnight bus to Mar Del Plata just in time for a special food festival called Feria Masticar featuring the best of Argentine food and wine. We spent several days enjoying beaches and seafood before heading south to Patagonia to visit the province of Chubut.
While on the Atlantic side of Chubut we visited Puerto Madryn, Peninsula Valdes, Trelew, Gaiman and Dolavon. To summarize our time in this area, we had incredibly close encounters with wildlife including penguins, sea lions and guanacos while also experiencing Welsh culture in Argentina.
Our time in Patagonia continued as we headed from east to west trading more barren landscapes for thick forests, impressive mountains and magnificent lakes. We spent significant time in both Esquel and El Bolson with day trips to visit Trevelin, Parque Nacional Los Alerces, Cholila and Lago Puelo. Highlights included sailing, hiking, riding vintage trains and partaking in the national asado festival.
We finished visiting Patagonia with time spent in Villa La Angostura, San Martin De Los Andes and Bariloche where we enjoyed more stunning scenery and hiking. On our way back to Buenos Aires, we took the Tren Patagonia to Las Grutas before meeting up with Audrey's dad again.
To finish off our trip in Argentina, we spent more time in the capital and later Mendoza where we got to experience wine tourism to its fullest extent. Overall, we had an amazing time travelling around Argentina having only scratched the surface of this vast and diverse country.
Overall our Argentina travel series explores cities, small towns that are off-the-beaten-path, and scenic attractions with a strong emphasis on Argentina cuisine and local culture.

Admirals Beach to Red Bay
Going over on the ferry. It had a bad diesel smell that really made me dizzy. Took something called the rock for the trip back and it wasn't any better. Can see why all the locals lie down and sleep for the 2 hour trip. At least we have been to Labrador and really enjoyed it.
