Helene served us and a couple from British Columbia a nice breakfast at Aaron's Dove House. (Mm mm sweet strawberries!) We exchanged travel stories and agreed that Nova Scotia is the place to be if you are a pedestrian. Not only do they stop if you are in a crosswalk, but they stop if you are jaywalking. Life is a bit slower here.
Here a picture of our B&B and a shot from our sitting room overlooking the sea.
After breakfast we caught the Marine Atlantic ferry sailing for Port aux Basques, Newfoundland. It's a six hour trip plus two hours loading and one hour unloading--so it's an all day affair. I dreaded going because I get seasick and it's boring and the food is usually awful. This trip actually wasn't too bad as the sea was very calm. But the food was still awful.
We checked into St Christopers inn at Port aux Basques--along with 4 bus loads of tourists 😕. J and I took a walk around the town and harbor. We were on the dock, admiring a pretty sailboat when an old fellow drove up to us and asked if we wanted to buy the boat. He was kidding--just being friendly. He went on to tell us a long story about the guy who bought the boat, etc. I like Newfoundlanders already!
and now I quit because the margins are going nuts on this STUPID BLOG!
