Today was our last day in Nova Scotia. The weather was a bit sketchy but not bad other than wind. Last night was a little rough in the tent as the wind was bad enough that we had to add more guy lines and stakes in the middle of the night. Took our time packing up this morning and rode around Bras d’Or Lake. It is a very large fresh water lake or inland sea. Fresh water streams feed into it, but it is also connected to the ocean. I didn’t get the chance to take many pictures today, partly due to weather and lack of pull-offs along the road.
We made North Sydney just as our ferry was arriving in the bay. Huge ship with 3 vehicle decks holding something like 700 cars, trucks, RVs, tractor trailers, and a few motorcycles. Getting settled in for the night. Newfoundland should be a blast just based on the people sitting around us. Several Newfies have been entertaining us and offering tips on foods to try and places to go. We kept hearing over the past few days just how friendly and hospitable Newfoundlanders were. Based on our experience so far, they were right, and we haven’t even left the dock yet.
I will keep writing a daily blog, but don’t be surprised if it’s a few days before I can upload them. Until then….
