Breakfast at Annfield Manor, North Sydney. Incredibly good coffee. Elegant setting. Delicious food. |
Hey Sam, we took this picture for you! In North Sydney this morning. |
The really lovely, friendly lady who welcomed us to the ferry dock. |
The mouth of the ferry boat is open, ready for cars and trucks to board. |
A tractor trailer drives on to the ferry. Incredible that so many heavy vehicles fit on a boat! |
Cormorants hang around at the North Sydney docks. |
And a-wake we go! |
Dave looks great with a Canadian flag sticking out of his head. |
Me. Seasick. Doped up on Gravol. In the background, our first glimpse of "The Rock." |
Land ahoy! Thank god! |
Port Aux Basques looks so scenic and charming from the vantage point of the ferry. |
Our very comfortable hotel, up on a hill overlooking the harbour and the town. The St. Christopher's is a fine place with an awesome restaurant. |
We're about to drive off the ferry. The folks who work there have the loading and unloading down to a science. Everything goes smooth as silk. Except for my stomach. |
Saying good-bye to our ferry and hello to Newfoundland! |
Too bad about the queasy feeling. Port aux Basques looks absolutely charming. Can't wait for tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteSorry you had a rough passage over, but it looks like it was well worth it. Enjoy yourselves...eat, drink, and make merry...for tomorrow you can do it all over again.
ReplyDeleteOh and I agree the red house looks really cozy, I think I could live with that.
Too bad about sick Cathy. Har! I'm just glad the ferry got there on time! Have a safe drive across the island. I'm sure the 10 hours will just fly by!
ReplyDeleteBlech! Seasickness sucks (I speak from long experience), but it's over now and I know you'll have a blast in Newfoundland. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! That flag pole looks like it would hurt, but Dave is still smiling...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time. I have been so long without Internet. Congratulations!!!!!!
