The ferry was indeed delayed last night by 2 hours, leaving at 2 a.m. instead of midnight. We spent about 6 hours in line prior to boarding. We were quite comfortable. We stretched out on the 2 banquettes. I had downloaded a couple of movies on my phone that I connected to our television siteContinue reading “Day 42: Port aux Basques Nfld, North Syndey, NS to Amherst, NS”

Day 41: Greenpoint, Gros Morne NP to Channel Port aux Basques
Today is just a run of about 4 1/2 hours down to Port Aux Basques for our midnight ferry back to Nova Scotia. The weather is warm but cloudy with on and off rain. We stopped for lunch in a diner along the way. The scenery though was spectacular as usual in this province. WeContinue reading “Day 41: Greenpoint, Gros Morne NP to Channel Port aux Basques”
Day 40: St. Barbe to Greenpoint Gros Morne NP
Today starts the trek back to Port aux Basques for the ferry tomorrow night. I took good advantage of the services in this RV park last night and this morning. Last night, I did laundry and won’t have to do it again until I get to one of our daughter’s homes next week. This morning, Continue reading “Day 40: St. Barbe to Greenpoint Gros Morne NP”
Day 34: L’Anse aux Meadows to St. Barbe
It started to rain just as we got up, more of a mist but enough to keep us inside for breakfast. We have indoor activities planned for today anyway, so if it must rain, so be it. We had the gorgeous day yesterday for the Viking site and a lovely walk. We are about 2Continue reading “Day 34: L’Anse aux Meadows to St. Barbe”
Day 33: Port aux Choix to L’anse aux Meadows National Historic Sites
Every day is so different. When we came in here last night it was extremely windy and foggy. This morning we woke up to bright sunshine, merely windy, and warmer. Breakfast on the beach looking out over the Gulf of St. Lawrence. We still need jackets though. Sorry for those of you still suffering theContinue reading “Day 33: Port aux Choix to L’anse aux Meadows National Historic Sites”
Day 32: Gros Morne NP to Porte aux Choix
We have a few miles to cover today and an activity that will take a few hours. We were up and out of the campsite by 8:30. I had originally booked the Western Brook Pond boat tour for yesterday, but today promised better weather and I changed the reservation. I need to explain why thisContinue reading “Day 32: Gros Morne NP to Porte aux Choix”
Day 31: Gros Morne NP
What a different morning from yesterday! Yesterday was bright, sunny and warm with a view of the ocean. Today is cool and rainy, enclosed in pine trees (it smells good though). We were supposed to do a boat trip today, but I postponed it to tomorrow, pending better weather. There’s not much in the wayContinue reading “Day 31: Gros Morne NP”
Day 30: Little Bay to Rocky Harbour
The rising sun woke me up this morning at 5:15am. The interior of the van was glowing with a warm red light. I hastily pulled down the shade and shot the sun through the screen just as it was coming over the horizon on the water. What a way to start the day! Then IContinue reading “Day 30: Little Bay to Rocky Harbour”
Day 29: Notre Dame PP to Little Bay
We are now being blessed with heat and sunshine. We will gratefully take this while we can. It was a gorgeous evening last night. Thanks to the weather and the tent, we sat outside until about 10:30 am. We could leave the tent out all night. Something we rarely do. It’s not a rain tentContinue reading “Day 29: Notre Dame PP to Little Bay”
Day 28: Dildo Run PP, Twillingate to Notre Dame PP
Happy July 4th to all my American friends. We arrived in camp around 10 pm last night. There was no point hooking up utilities only to unplug it all in the morning. That meant no internet and we have no cell network here either. We tried to sit outside for a while to enjoy theContinue reading “Day 28: Dildo Run PP, Twillingate to Notre Dame PP”
