Day 39. sept 14, 2013 on ferry

WWe stayed last night at Argentia, Newfoundland, to catch ferry.  Went to local pub.  Very Irish in this area.  Everyone has strong Irish  brogue.  The wind picked up at our campsite....40 mph during the night.  We rocked and rolled all night.  

Did some hiking.  Today is moose season opener, so we really thought we might see some, , fleeing from hunters.  But no.  

Everything is so expensive here, since it is an island, and everything has to be brought in.  I went to a store to buy meat and cheese for sandwiches.  The only reasonably-priced meat was liver wurst.  We had it  for 2 lunches.  See picnic photo

We had to ask our campsite neighbor to help us take down the camper, so the wind wouldn't blow the sides away.

9:00 PM.... We are now on the huge ferry to take us back to Nova Scotia.  16 hours.  We are leaving from  Eastern coast,so it is much longer than our trip to here, as that was the western coast.  

The ferry is kind of like a cruse ship.  The cabin is so cute!  

George is eating the buffet.  I ate a hot dog in the bar.  They roast a baguette in the middle and add a Weiner ...pretty good!  We have seen this all over Canada
