On this, our last full day on the road, we had one of our toughest days of the trip.
We spent all day ploughing into a 25kph head wind. Then as we climbed one particularly high hill we entered the fog which lasted the rest of the day. The fog immediately coated our glasses with water however the road remained dry. The headwind whistled through our helmets which meant we couldn’t hear anything. It was fortunate the Trans-Canada Highway in NL has such a good shoulder as we really couldn’t see anything or hear anything. Things seemed even worse when TimG got two punctures in 5 km. 
After having only 1 puncture in 12 weeks it was a truly unlucky day.We arrived in St. John’s at 5:15, cold, wet and miserable. We found the Wades house with no problem and we were met at the day by Sue with towels, and Brian with the beer. It was nice to have a home cooked meal again.
