On Tuesday we visited this small quaint harbor which was first occupied by Palaeo-Eskimo people from Groswater 3,000 years ago and Middle Dorset 1500 years ago. First, in the morning we visited Charlotte's Bay and Man-O-War Island where we hiked approximately 4 miles up and down the granite and through the first trees we have seen so far. We found Brown Bear "scat" so we knew they were close by. Denise collected some shell, quartz and seeds. In the afternoon, we moved to Battle Harbour, a UNESCO site, where we toured the restored town and walked the old cemetery where we saw a Harrier flying high above the cliffs. We learned about the town from some locals, through song. These people were busy restoring the buildings to the same as when they grew up some years earlier.
