5 July, George St

Well tonight I had to hit the infamous George Street (Pub Alley). Stopped in to a place called O’Reilly’s and had some fish and chip. Cod was never at the top of my list for fish but this dish was delicious. The meal washed down with a couple Rikard’s White’s was a perfect end to the day. Tomorrow is the last day of riding the island; I’ll be riding what they call the “Irish Loop.” It is named this to reflect over 400 years of history by Irish immigrant settlers. This area has the world's largest puffin colony, the world's southern most caribou herd, the oldest continuous permanent settlement in Canada, some of the world's oldest and rarest marine fossils, and a unique culture that strongly reflects the settlement of Irish immigrants over the past 40 years. From there I’ll continue around the Avalon Peninsula to Saint Brides for my last stop in Newfoundland.
