Canada - Newfoundland & Labrador (Chapter)

This is the Newfoundland & Labrador chapter from Lonely Planet's Canada guidebook.

Canada's easternmost province floats in a world of its own. Blue icebergs drift by. Puffins flap along the coast. Whales spout close to shore. The island even ticks in its own offbeat time zone (a half-hour ahead of the mainland) and speaks its own dialect.
