There is so much to do and see on this wonderful island of Newfoundland that you may never cover it all in one trip so you'll just have to plan to return. There are many more places and sights to see than mentioned above. Just keep in mind that when you visit Newfoundland you will never see the real heart of it until you meet its people. Here lies the true Newfoundland in the friendly and warming way you'll be welcomed. It is true you may have a little trouble at first understanding the accents used by some of the Newfoundlanders but you'll never have trouble with making friends with them. They will welcome you into their homes and their hearts and there you will stay forever.
