Arriving in Nova Scotia

Very sadly we left PEI on the ferry. Although the ferry was more expensive it saved us about 2 hours driving time. The ferry was very late however and I think they could learn a thing or two from the BC Ferries. It seemed to take forever to load the vessel and the amenities on board are virtually non-existant. There are 4 small lounges with tables and chairs but no comfortable seats to be found. There was a cafeteria but we didn't get anything since we had our lunch with us. The crossing took 1hr. and 15 min. I was surprised there was no gift shop. I suppose the ferry to Newfoundland will be a little better outfitted at least I hope so because it will be a 6 hr. trip on the shortest route.

So now we are in Nova Scotia. We were greeted with rain but it has cleared up today and the sun is shining. We are in Truro for the weekend and then we will try to hit the coast again and do some more beach days. Richard nearly had a heart attack when he went shopping. Milk cost over $6 for 4L. We find the Maritimes very expensive and Richard is longing to get back down to the States for cheap gas and food.

That pretty much catches you all up on our adventure. We miss you all, those we have met along the way and those back home. We think of you often. Send us an email sometime, it is nice to hear from home.
