Day 8- In the ferry

Driven today: 22 KM
Total driven: 2719 km

We were at the ferry terminal at 9 am, we did not shove off until 11:45 am.  They are very organized in getting cars and trucks into the ferry.  After that we just sat and read, walk a bit on the deck and waited.  We arrived to Port aux Basques in Newfoundland at 6:30 but it was over half an hour before we could drive out of the MS Highlnder.

The hotel is just a few meters from the dock and everyone of the ship was checking in.  We did go out for dinner.  We found a nice little family restaurant a block away and had pan fried cod.  It was really good.

End of day'
