- The last leg
- Car and ferry
Every room at the inn faces the North Atlantic, and the only way in is by road and ferry.
The line we searched: Virgin Atlantic from Heathrow at ten past four, Toronto by evening, Air Canada to Gander the next morning at ten to eight. The house car meets the plane, drives to Farewell and boards the ferry with you.
Twenty-six hours and fifty minutes, door to door. The last leg was the cheapest part of the journey; the barrier was never the money.
