Newfoundland AHOY

A few more miles and we are on the last leg to Newfoundland.

We pass through Nova Scotia from all the way west to all the way east.

One wind mill farm.

We stay in a few pretty campgrounds.

At this campground,  the owners were particularly nice.  Les got a flat tire on his bike and didn't have spare.  One of the owners drove his truck to pick him up.  We still have no cell phone usage.  Les went into a house.  The woman was kind enough to open the door!  She also let Les use her phone to call the campground, to get in touch with me.

Still rainy and a bit foggy.  We are approaching the causeway that connects the two islands of Nova Scotia.  The one we are going towards in Cape Breton.

We got to the ferry in North Sydney and got in line.  I think the people in front of us are selling paddleboards!  It is a lightly loaded ship as we will see when we get on board.

This is the RV line... we are at the end of this lane.  I had somehow found a woman, on the internet,  who was traveling on this same crossing.  We met up and talked a bit.  We may see them later at our next campsite and probably will also meet them along the way.

We are now driving into the belly of the beast.

Up onto the ramp.

Down to our lane.

And into our parking spot for the night.  Close quarters here.


You have to take everything you will need as you cannot go back to your vehicle until the morning.








The ship is a lot like a cruise ship.  The cabin was just like on a cruise ship, just slightly smaller if that is possible.  There are several places to eat (not included).  There is a small movie theater.

It is larger than this picture.  There were three movies shown.  After dinner we went down to see the end of Malefecant.

If we didn't want to take the ferry, we could have taken the rv this way.















I sat down to read.  And look what happened:   and the sign on the wall says:  no sleeping in the lounge.  It says it in three languages.  If you don't book a cabin, they do not want you sleeping in the lounge.  So the sign didn't mean me.                                                                                                                                                                                

                                                                                                                   

Next morning, at about 10 AM, the ship had docked and it was time to leave.  We drove ...

and drove off the ship.

and into Newfoundland.

Welcome to Newfoundland.  It is cold and rainy.  Look at the temp on the rv dashboard.  And it didn't get any better all day.  Soup for lunch and an inside day for reading.
