Night in Gros Morne... It was good, good hotel, good service.... but what preceded it was really funny! To understand this I will describe the whole picture of what happened. It was our first time in this place; it is a really an unknown place almost wild, not almost - it is a wild place: no people, no cities, no gas stations at all. We thought: it's OK, it's Canada, what can happen?
When we realized that it was too late to have a hike in the Western Brook pond we just looked around. It was amazing !!!
By the time when we came back to the car it was getting dark. We looked at the map and found the closest village to spend a night at was 20 km from our point. Not too bad. But the name of the small town was Cow Head. First, we did not think about the strangest name of the village, we just wanted to find people and a place to stay. During our drive to Cow Head we started to joke about the name... When we came closer, was dark - all dark. Can you imagine? Dark, no one around, on the one side was the ocean, on the other the forest and mountains, and small city with a name Cow Head ahead..... I was truly scared; I had been drawing pictures from movies like "Wrong Tern" or "The Village".... When couple of hundreds meters were left to village we both were quiet.... But it was a really nice and cute place to stay! We forgot our thoughts about the name and movies :-) We spend a night at the Shallow Bay Motel; neat and comfortable and respectful stuff. I recommend it for all tourists in this area!!!
