While im eating breakfast and packing up camp an old fella on an ATV rides by and stops for a chat. Charley White has been out fly fishing and has lived in the local community for the last 72 years. Charley's thick Newfie accent is a laugh and we spend a while chatting. Charley invites me to meet his wife, take breakfast and have a shower at his house in village over the river.Saying goodbye to Charley i make my way north to Salmonier nature park. The impress...

A 350km ride takes me to St Johns and I arrive mid afternoon. The hostel recommended by the Lonely Planet has shut down but the guy living there offers me a room to stay. I respectfully decline as it's a dive and after a few days camping I'm eager to get clean and also meet a few other travelers. I know of another hostel and go to check it out. I check in for three days and immediately meet Isaac, Jackie and David. The George Street Festival is in full s...
