The Best of Newfoundland & Labrador
1 The Best of Newfoundland & Labrador You’ve done the Florida sun, the European tour, the Caribbean cruise, and the all-inclusive resort, but what you really want is something different. You want to experience something natural and untamed, to relax and rejuvenate without resorting to laziness. You want to create your own vacation memories, not reenact someone else’s itinerary. You yearn for a place unlike any other, somewhere that hasn’t been sanitized and packaged for official tourist consumption. Well, now you’ve found it: Newfoundland & Labrador, the Far East of the Western world. Here, in Canada’s youngest and most easterly province, untold adventure awaits your discovery. What’s around the next bend in the highway? Could it be a double rainbow? A breaching humpback? A glistening iceberg? A beaming lighthouse? There’s no script or schedule here, so you never know what you’ll find when you start to explore. The key word here is “explore”—some of your most treasured memories will be found on the roads less traveled. The rustic majesty that is Newfoundland & Labrador can be summed up in two words: “people” and “place.” Both are unforgettable. The inhabitants of this isolated locale are as real as it gets. They are unpretentious, thoughtful, and witty. They’ll charm you with their accents and their generous spirit. Though their lifestyle is neither opulent nor lavish, they will never hesitate to help a per- son in need. It comes from living in a harsh environment where a helping hand can make the difference between survival and some other, ugly, alternative.
