Off to Newfoundland

We head to Sydney where our group splits off with some heading back to Halifax and the rest waiting in Sydney for our next tour director, Paul, to pick us up.

We have the afternoon to wait so we walk the boardwalk along the water.

The giant fiddle. This is the cruise ship port and shopping area down on the water.

Colourful vending shops on the dock.

We meet Paul, our Tour Director and Randy our driver.

We proceed to the Marine Atlantic ferry.  This is an overnight ferry that leaves at 11 pm.  We have a cabin which is wonderful so we quickly settle in and then we’re up at 6:30 am to disembark in Port aux Basques, Newfoundland.

We have breakfast in Channel-Port aux Basques before heading up island.
