| To get to St Pierre and Miquelon, we
had to drive out to the tip of Burin peninsula to the towns of Grand Bank and
Fortune since that is where the ferry leaves from. First we arrived at Fortune and checked in to our motel, wandered around and took some photos of the sunset. | ||

| We wandered around Grand Bank looking for a good place for dinner, but came up empty. | ||

| Ile des Marins is a small island just off shore that provides a breakwater to shelter the main harbour of St Pierre. As rustic as St Pierre is, this smaller island looks like it comes from a far older time. | |
