Well if you have been reading and keeping up to date with things, yes we are getting behind.
Where to start, i guess St John's is good. Well we left St John's about a week ago now, from St John's we drove to Grand Falls Windsor stayed there, not much happening there, the big news in the town was the closure of the paper mill.
From Grand Fall's we had the whole day to reach Channel Port aux Basques, unfortunately we also got a rainy day, we looked at different things drove as slow as we could, but still ended up getting to the ferry at about 6.00pm still over 5 hours to waste.
On the way we did stop at stephenville and got lunch, we were planning to drive to the end of the headland to look but with the rain it was not worth it.
We had lunch sitting inthe car at the beach, we then drove along the water front tothe harbour and then headed out of town, we had to drive through the edge of the air port, it was huge turns out it was a US air force base until the early 80's that explains the size of the air port.
We also drove down roads that looped back to the main road and found some nice places.
Just before the ferry we headed out to the light house to have a look then headed to the car park for the ferry.
We boarded the ferry early which was good and headed straight to bed as we had a long day coming.
Well sleep did not happen as much as we had hoped, the boat rocked and also the constant sound of the motor, we got off the boat in north Sydney at 6.30 in the morning with our next stop being Halifax.
We were planning on driving down the eastern side of Bras d'Or Lake, but since we were so tired we drove down the main road, we crossed back over to the main land and headed for the turn off to drove down the coast.
Although the drove was good we were to tired to really enjoy it, and the fact that we could not find a toilet when you needed one did not help.
Finally we arrived in Halifax at about lunch time so checked into the hotel and went into the city centre to have a look, we walked around the fort and then walked around the water front and the shops. the fact that we were so tired did not help so we decided to go back to the hotel and get some sleep.
But on the way we went to Fairview cemetry to see where the victims of the Titanic were buried, something a bit different.
