NOVA SCOTIA TOUR

Woke at 6 a.m. this morning to get to the ferry for a 9:30 launch.  The ferry takes us from Prince Edward Island to Nova Scotia in about an hour.  It's an adventure getting on the ferry with probably hundreds of other vehicles and they don't promise you'll make the cut because the cars and commercial vehicles have first priority.  Not only did we get on with plenty of room to spare but we got on last which meant we were the first ones off.

The ferry is huge and has a gift shop, cafeteria and ice cream shop.  We had a nice breakfast and met a local couple that were very interesting.  She works in a lobster processing factory and he is a mussel farmer.  We learned just how mussels are farmed.  If you don't know, it's interesting and you should Google it.

Once we got off the ferry the drive to the campground was just a couple of hours in Baddeck.  I think we found the only level site in the park with full hookups for the bargain Coast-to-Coast price of $10 for six nights. So far this entire Maritime excursion has been very reasonable.

Woke to a beautiful sunrrise

They're raising the door  for us to drive out and
it looks like we're going to drive into the water

The ferry took us from the gray area to the orange
area and we drove to the green area

we are looking for to driving
