We got up good time to prepare for the trip to Newfoundland.  We stopped and fueled the motorhome up ($5.03/gallon) wow!!!!!  We drove down and waited for the ferry.  It was a huge ferry. Lots and Lots of trucks, cars, and RVs.  We spent $50 for a berth with 2 beds and a bath with a tv.  We got a voucher for two dinners.  It was a bargain as the dinner was a three course meal, salad, bacon wrapped cod, and cheesecake.  It was really nice to lay down and take a nap instead of sitting in chairs.  Trip took 6 hours.  It was 8pm when we got to Newfoundland so was about dark.  It was really pretty.  Lots of lakes and very green.  Like I would picture Ireland.  We are excited for tomorrow.
