Newfoundland The Rock's Hidden Treasures

Wow, can't believe I never reviewed this book before -- it's terrific in giving you an overview for Newfoundland. I did find that because the tourism and travel industry is updating so fast you need to supplement it with some online research. But overall it's a good guide to discovering the hidden treasures on the Rock. Newfoundland residents know how to not only be greateful but may be the rolemodels for sharing -- it was a fabulous Trip in 2006.

Really Helped Plan Our Trip

A combination of this book and the stuff I received directly from Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism helped me to plan our trip for this coming summer down to the minute (literally.) I found hotels, b & b's, ferries, historic spots, even restaurants, all with remarks that let me know things like how much time to schedule to tour somewhere to which room to ask for at a B & B. NL is not an easy place to plan to visit - it takes a lot to get there (whether driving or flying) and there aren't many resources available to research well ahead of time. Online isn't too bad - but because most of what you find is run by the business/location itself, there are only going to be positive reviews; and many places don't list their prices on their websites. Frommer's are always reliable; this one specifically was a real help. I also recommend reading some other books about Newfoundland before going - the usual "The Shipping News" and "Theater of Fish."

Frommers Book

I have purchased Frommers Books in the past and this one is exceptional. My husband and I are planning a motorcycle trip there in July and this will be very helpful.
