July 10 Friday 2009 North Sydney to Port aux Basque Newfoundland
We wake up to sunshine and many RV's in the line up with us. We board at 11:30 to make the 6.5 hour crossing to the Rock. The waters were very calm. We saw a few pods of dolphins. I really enjoyed the entertainment in the lounge. Bugs and Debbie Greene did 2 shows. I went to them both and convinced Bill to come to the 3 o'clock show. We had a delicious cod dinner on the ferry for only $9. each. We arrived at the Codroy RV park around 6pm. It was only 25 miles from the ferry. We had reservations . $56 for 2 nights. There was 7 rigs with Fantasy tours here too. Our phone says no service but the free WIFI works. A few interesting facts about Newfoundland- It is the farthest east zone we could be in and still be in part of North America and a half hour ahead of Atlantic time. There are no snakes, or skunks (we saw lots in PEI all dead beside the road) no raccoons or porcupines. I know this will be a fun place as it's pronounced New ''fun'' land not found.
REMEMBER- There is always something to be thankful for.
