Day 6 - Here we are - finally on the island. You wouldn't believe the Ontario licence plates on the roads in the Maritimes. Is there anyone home?? Got a nice B & B in North Sydney - the weather was rather Biblical but we walked a good 25 min. into town salivating for the promised lobster at Rollies - dripping we grinned as we walked into the place - have you ever seen grown girls cry over lobster or the lack of....turns out they were having a private party. Not to worry, back to a an Italian place for seafood anyway. Ferry was gorgeous - sea cruise on a relatively happy sea brought us to the our final, final big adventure of this trip. The people at every stop and port are happy and welcoming. Have met a couple from NZ, lots of folks on the road from Ontario, and lots of others. Got as far as Stephenville tonight - happily settled into the - I know - don't groan - Holiday Inn - it was fast, easy and warm and dry. Actually, the wind is up and the skies are clearing so here's hoping the Rocky Harbour adventure will be fine weather fare.
OK - now for the best lines of the trip - so far!!
Bertierville, Quebec - east of Montreal - Best Western: on getting to the restaurant for breakfast: "Do you want a GOOD cup of coffee?"
Truro, NS - after many hours on the road - The Tidal Bore Inn (a mom and pop operation) - as we 2 tall girls walk into the office to get our room: "Will that be one double bed or two!!".
Arriving in Port Aux Basques after a fabulous cruise.
Soooooo.....more later as we head to Rocky Harbour area for a few days. Love and hugs from K & M
