Gander and Clarenville (By Suz)

I’ve combined the next two stops, Gander and Clarenville, in to one blog, because although both own were awesome, we had such short stays in each. Just one night in Gander and one night in Clarenville before moving on.

We drove half-way from Grand Falls – Windsor to Gander, and met our new Rotarian guides Paddy & Bob. We knew Paddy from the District Conference in Cape Breton.


We took a long drive and saw some amazing sights (more beautiful scenery, Newfoundland never fails to provide stunning views).



We arrived at 6pm in Gander. Met our hosts for all of 2 seconds and then ran straight to a gathering of the Rotary Club of Gander, where we gave a presentation and had some dinner.

We went home to bed, woke up in the morning and left Gander.
Thanks Gander for a short and sweet visit!



Our next stop was Clarenville, and like Gander, it was a super-short stay.

We were picked up by gander Rotarians in the morning, driven half-way to Clarenville to meet the Clarenville Rotarians, and wer taken out to a VERY nice lunch at a local restaurant where Colin tried Caribou steak for the first time.

We spent the afternoon having some down time with our hosts, and then went to dinner with the Rotary Club of Clarenville where we did our presentation.

Presentation and exchange of banners:


Thanks Clarenville!! Now we move forward to the big smoke, the city of St John’s!
