Hadas and Tomer in Newfoundland



We finaly found a place with Internet, so much has happend in these 2weeks, can't remember it all but i'll write about some of it.Anyway, every little place we arive at, people are telling us we will soon see lots of ice and finaly after a week and a half we saw our first small iceberg. We got sooo exited we took lots of pictures. By the next day we had hundreds of icebergs floating beside us as we paddled along, and daybefore yesterday it finaly happened, we actually got stuck in the ice, surounded by heavy fog as well.


How scarrrryyy!!!!All i wanted was to find the way out and get on to dry land. Yesterday, after spending most of the day in the tent on some rocky shoreline it cleared a bit and we got so optimistic, we imagined our selves crossing this 18 km bay that's right in front of us. So we packed quickly,hopped into the boats and set off, just to find after 5 km that the way is totally blocked with thick ice on the water.


What a sight!!!!! We pulled our kayaks on to the cliffs under the lighthouse on Cape Norman, put up the tent and tied it to the kayaks and walked to the nearby town, 5 km away,

Cook's harbour. This is where we are spending today as well, recharging batteries and bodies.

We are hoping that today's wind will blow some ice off shore and let us cross tomorrow. So far we had just one shower in these 2 weeks. Holly crap!!!!

But we do bath in the 0 degrees sea water every other day.My head is itching.....Ok, to cut it short for now, we miss our friends but are having a fantastic time in the ice. Will write next time we find Internet




Tomer getting ready for bath time, this is one for the ladies, watch out Hadas!
