Manuals River

Most of our week was spent in malls, banks, insurance offices and at motor vehicle registration. Not a lot of fun, but things we had to take care of before heading back to Paris. Now we can enjoy the rest of our time here.

We did manage to get out and explore a bit on the weekend though. On Saturday we went for a hike along the Manuals River in Conception Bay South. It has some beautiful waterfalls and marshy areas with lots of birds and animals.

We discovered that the T'Railway goes by the parking lot, so we took our bikes with us on Sunday. The T'Railway runs along the path of the old rail lines. Newfoundland hasn't had trains since 1988 so they've been converted to trails. They are great for biking because it's the only place on the entire island that you can ride on flat ground for more than 50 feet at a time.

Here are our new bikes. I sarcastically call Lori's bike "White Lightening".

Lori loves it because it's the most comfortable bike she's ever owned. It even has a shock under the seat.
