Today's travels brought us to Cape Spear, site of the most easterly point in North America, as well as the oldest lighthouse in Newfoundland. The weather clearly has the potential to be pretty nasty up there, but we were lucky that it wasn't too foggy or windy.
At the top of a very long set of stairs, you come to the site of the original lighthouse. I cannot imagine living up there even in the summer, let alone the winter.
The lighthouse is now automated, of course, and makes for a spectacular scene against the backdrop of the foggy harbour and the sheer rock faces. Not surprisingly, it's a favourite spot for wedding photos, as we saw today.
The views are spectacular, and the most easterly point is conveniently marked for the tourists!
