Day 30. Sept 6, 2013

Got up early as it was sunny, but it looked like clouds were coming in, so we wanted to hurry to take advantage of the sun.    Left the camper at the campsite in order to go to the end of the peninsula.  (Road too bad for the camper) We headed toward Meat Cove..."the end of the earth". We learned that it got its name from the early fur traders.  They butchered their catch there...bear,moose, and took the furs and left the meat to rot as it was too heavy to carry.  We drove about 25 miles until the dreaded "Pavement Ends" sign.  Then drove until the road ended.  Scary, bumpy road. Parked the car and hiked up a very muddy, slippery path. Breathtaking view from top.  Shear cliffs,  Very slippery hiking back down.  

Got the camper and drove back toward civilization.  Stopped for lunch in a cafe that was featured in Food Network's show called "ya gotta eat here".  We ate their clam dip specialty.

On to Sydney, where we are catching the 11:45PM ferry to Newfoundland.  We didn't want to drive around town with the camper, so we asked about unhitching the camper and taking the car around.  They told us to call this number.  So George went into a nearby restaurant to use their phone.  He came back with a smile. The friendly people said we could leave the camper in their lot  instead

at no charge and to come back for their 2 for 1 special dinners.  It was like a MN resort supper club, with a dance floor and music.  So, we went into town, came back for dinner and are now in the waiting line to board the ferry.
