Ferrying back to the mainland

We left Terra Nova behind today, not without some regrets, but it's nice to have the ferry rides behind us now. It was a beautiful blue-sky day for the crossing, and everything went smoothly, with only a couple of vehicles in front of us on the ferry.


An interesting sky while waiting for the ferry:

Any guesses why we took this pic? (hint - nice Van!):


The crossing was indeed smooth, but felt really long today. It takes almost an hour longer in this direction, over 7 hours today.

Cathie got one of the full meals from the restaurant today, $19.80 for salad, ham & scalloped potatoes, veg, strawberry shortcake and coffee; very good. Cheapskate Gord settled for a hot dog at the snack bar takeout.

The ferry was a bit late getting to the mainland, about 7pm, but we did pick up 1/2 hr with the time change from Newfoundland time to Atlantic Time.

We were just the 3rd vehicle off the ferry, so got quite a jump on the big rigs this time!

We're camped at a KOA that's only minutes from the Cabot Trail drive.

Our base campsite for a few nights, while we tour the Cabot Trail:
