Corner Brook, Newfoundland

                                                       On day thirty-two, Zuiderdam had planned for St. John's, NF.                                                               The captain decided to sail instead to Corner Brook because

                                                       hurricane Ernesto was heading northeast, toward St. John's.                                                                   When we were in Corner Brook on day five last, we went to Gros                                                           Morne National Park. So, this time we plan to explore the town

                                                       more.

​​

                                                       After lunch, we took a taxi into Corner Brook. The cab driver was                                                         reluctant to take us because he was hoping to get a longer fare. 

                                                       Two other people showed up and told them they were with a                                                                 tour going to the Captain Cook Monument. The driver finally conceded  and took us to the Corner Brook

                                 City Hall. We had read

                                 that we could access the

                                 roof there to take pictures.

                                 The city maintains the

                                 rooftop as though it was a

                                 park, with benches and a garden for relaxing. But nature had other plans and    it started to rain. So, we

made our way to the

museum next door. It was

an interesting museum

with a lot of historical

exhibits about the city.

 

​Accord to our plan, we walked toward our destination for dinner. We stopped at a neighborhood bar called Whelan's gate for a drink, and to avoid the downpour

that started soon after we arrived. When it subsided, we walked

about a block to Newfound Sushi, a

sushi restaurant. Here is a list of our

dinner items:​

• Hiyashi Wakame (left picture)

• Spicy Scallop Roll (right picture)

• Cod Bao Bun

• Saba sashimi

• Spicy Tuna Roll

• Unagi nigiri

 

​This was the second fine meal of the cruise. We called for a cab and went back to the ship.
