I'se The B'y - From our RV site in the Codroy Valley

WE MADE IT !!!! August 1 st at 3:30 we set sail on the MV Cariboo ( 2 hrs late because of fog) from North Sydney to Port aux Basques. This is a 6 hour ferry trip that I booked in March so missed the last 3 fuel surcharge increases and saved me 100's of dollars. It took 2 hours to load the ferry because each car has their wheel tied down to the deck in case of bad weather. Our crossing was clear and water flat. We had supper on board and was already for a BIG feed of Cod BUT they ran our so had to have a hot dog and fries. Imagine a Newfoundland Ferry running out of Cod..... We made it to the Grand Codroy Resort which is about 1/2 and hour from the ferry terminal. It is a GREAT campground so will stay 3 nights
and get our Neufie Legs organized. Yesterday we drove to Rose Blanche on the south coast and were treated to the BEST fish and chips I have ever had at theFriendly Fisherman Cafe.
When I was washing our RV, Eg Walters came over to meet me. He lives in St.John's and spent about an hour helping me plan our stay here. He has a boat and invited me out fishing!!!
So far Newfoundland is exactly as people say -- People very friendly, Scenery spectacular, and food outstanding. Diesel fuel $1.55/l Just a short note to update every one.

Pictures Coming.....
