  • Fogo Island – A Paradise of Newfoundland Sights

    Fogo Island – A Paradise of Newfoundland Sights

    When most picture Newfoundland, pictures of colourful houses, scenic downtown vistas overlooking the St Johns harbour, and perhaps the blur that George Street leaves in most visitors minds, long after leaving.
