Welcome to Newfoundland June 16, 2017

Cars drove on first to the upper vehicle deck
Friday:  We spent the afternoon driving across Nova Scotia to the northeastern town of North Sydney, to board the ferry to Newfoundland.  The cars began driving onto the ferry about 4:45 followed by the campers.
RVs and trailers, including tractor trailers went on the lower deck




We checked out our very basic room with a bathroom and shower before roaming the ship to scout out dinner options.  One of the two bars had a live country music band and we sat for a while enjoying the music.
Jack checking out the mattress and the TV at the same time

Of the three options for dinner (snackbar, buffet, formal restaurant) we chose the formal restaurant.  We had a very nice meal of halibut for me and chicken for Jack.

After dinner we returned to our cabin where Jack watched television and I read until bedtime.  We could not feel any ship motion, but in the middle of the night, the ship must have sped up because we got a lot of engine vibration.  There is no access at all to the RV once the ship is underway and our room was a whole lot more comfortable than the folks chairs in the movie theatre that many were using to sleep for the overnight ferry ride.
