Binoculars

Vampire - now, those new some Newfoundland words: "growlers" and "bergy bits!"

 

We did a small road trip in Newfoundland in late June. I was completely amazed by many things, but one thing in particular. We took a little boat trip with a local fisherman along the shore, and he used his boat hook to knock a chunk of ice off a growler. He told me to take it back and put a piece in my drink. So I did that, and couldn't believe that as the ice melted in my drink, the bubbles popped and fizzed! Not carbonation, just pops and fizzles. Ten-thousand year old air, released!

 

We certainly did use those binoculars in Newfoundland! We never travel without them.

I would definitely steer clear of Tasco and Bushnell, VERY poor quality. :(

 

 

Bang for the buck, this intermediate sized pair is hard to beat. Read the reviews. :)

If you want excellent quality, Nikon is pretty tough to beat... but more pricey. ;)

And if money is NO object at all... you can try these...

I take mine on every trip, always handy for spotting something in the distance.
