Durrell

Right beside Twilingate, in the next cove, is the picturesque village of Durrell.
The girls were up at the Durrell Museum overlooking the town...

One of our favourite spots in Durrell is Melvin's Dock, although it's starting to show it's age....

Back in Twillingate, Lonnie checks out the Iceberg shop...
but there's hardly any icebergs around, so it's not worth taking the boat tour.

What a pretty little village and how lovely to see it in the sunshine too. And don't worry too much Lonnie.....you might get to go on the boat next time Martha takes a holiday here!

Probably not. The boat tours are expensive, and they don't go very close to the icebergs.

Back in 2008, there was a gorgeous iceberg stranded off the Twillingate dump, and we were given a private boat tour by Melvin, whose dock is pictured above. Back then his dock (which was in much better shape back then) was on the cover of the Frommer's Newfoundland & Labrador tour guide. I gave him a copy, and he was so thrilled, that he took us out in his boat to the iceberg, to thank us. It was the highlight of that trip.
