Wrap Up

Our last night with our guides was spent in a simple guest house in the tiny community of Rose Harbour .

We enjoyed wood-fired hot showers!

A fabulous dinner at Susan's kitchen. Goetz was kind enough to play guitar for us.

Rose Harbour was a busy whaling station during the first half of the 20th century, and much of the machinery remains. Now it's home to only a handful of people.
