The happy campers.
It’s cold in North Sydney. We crawled out of the van this morning in 10-degree weather and walked to the campground toilets in bone-chilling drizzle and high winds. Gregor wasn’t particularly impressed. He gets a bit grumpy when the weather is like this. We really didn’t anticipate this kind of cold. Henry, our disheviled succulent plant, is probably cursing us right now.
After our morning showers, we bundled up and worked in the van for a few hours before the noon check-out time. ย Then we headed to town so that Gregor could get his hair trimmed for the big ferry trip to Newfoundland – don’t want to land on “The Rock” un-groomed. At 2 pm we waited in line at the ferry terminal to catch the 5 pm boat to Argentia.
We’re actually on the ferry right now (the boat has free WiFi). Since it’s a 16-hour overnight trip to Newfoundland, we pre-booked a sleeper cabin on the ferry. The little cabin is so cute! Once we got inside it, we marvelled at the amenities inside – two beds, a TV, work desk, full length closet, bathroom, shower, hair dryer, and clean white linens. So luxurious and large compared to the van! This boat ride is a welcome distraction from the drive-work-eat-sleep routine that we’ve had over the past month. We’re as happy as pigs in you-know-what.

Are you there yet? I hear the weather in Newfoundland has been brutal. Hoping for sun for you guys! Give Ted and Cheryl a squeeze for us!
Hi Dawn,
We are still here. Been off looking at the icebergs ๐ Really bad internet though, so posting will have to wait.
That photo made me laugh. Cute little cabin! See you soon!
