Twillingate to Gros Morne

Sometimes there is time to kill on travel days because you cannot arrive at the next destination until late afternoon.

We stopped at “The Newfoundland Insectarium” while traveling from Twillingate to our next stop at Gros Morne National Park.

It’s a nice insect collection but it could be anywhere, not particularly Newfoundland’ish. I enjoyed the live exhibits more than the dead ones. I don’t have a photo but it was fun watching a whole bunch of live leaf-cutter ants carry leaves around.

Another stop was at: “Salmonid Interpretation Centre” on the Exploits River near Grand Falls. This is the fish ladder bypass

The fish ladders lets the fish (salmon) go up the gentle ladder instead of this set of treacherous rocky falls
