We were hoping to see more icebergs along iceberg alley, but they are not cooperating. None are on the way while we will be here, so we called the ferry company and we scored a spot leaving in a few days with a pet friendly cabin! The reason we were so lucky is that the long ferry (14 hours) that goes to eastern Newfoundland had to cancel most of their crossings for June (don’t know why), so they added another crossing on the short ferry to western Newfoundland to rebook the 2,000+ people who were on the cancelled crossings. The additional crossings are for folks coming up to Newfoundland in prime season, which left the ship relatively empty for the returns.
No more icebergs was the bad news, but being able to get an earlier ferry allows us to attend Johnathan’s combination graduation party and going away party…..he graduated Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania and starting his graduate program at Wake Forest, North Carolina, in July.
We really enjoyed our second visit to Newfoundland and of course we complained about the cool temps, and now that we are back in the states with temps in the high 90’s, we are complaining some more. But, we are glad to back in the USA after going without any TV and paying about $7 per gallon for fuel!
The crossing was good with clear weather the whole way. Arrived on Nova Scotia at dinner time, got a campsite locally. We are currently in Massachusetts and will be on NJ tomorrow for the party tomorrow.
After this, we’ll head to Elmira to visit friends, then on to Indiana to get the remaining warranty items repaired on the RV.
Thanks for following us on this shorter than normal adventure!
