Still no moose…
After a late night arrival from our debacle of a ferry ride, we needed to get an early start this morning for our long 300 mile day.
But we had a problem. We had called the park from Newfoundland to extend our stay an extra day when we decided to stay over. But we had not paid for that day yet.
I had planned to pay yesterday afternoon when we got back, but since our ferry was 5 hours late, the park office was closed when we got home last night. So I had to wait for the office to open this morning. There was no office hours listed on the door, but I was hoping they opened at 8 am, but no luck.
So a little after 8, Jan and I decided to go to breakfast while we waited. We got back about 9 and still no luck. Finally, about 9:30 the lady showed up and we paid.
Because of this, it was 10 am before we finally pulled out.
Because we were getting a late start and had a long trip, we decided not to stop for lunch as we had planned, but just eat on the road. So a little after noon, we pulled over at the side of the road and Jan fixed peanut butter crackers. Ten minutes later we were on our way.
About 5 pm we arrived at Wayside RV Park in Glen Margaret, Nova Scotia, which is just southwest of Halifax.

After getting set up, we went out to admire the view out our front window.

And then a little while later, a great sunset.
Wayside 2
At the RV park’s recommendation, we visited the Finer Diner for supper. Jan had the Seafood Platter and I had Lasagna. Both very good.
And for dessert, Jan had Coconut Cream pie, and I had the Rhubarb Caramel pie.
MMMMM!
Getting back home I got the satellite dish up and going and then we settled in.
Tomorrow, we plan on touring the area and especially visiting the Titanic museum and memorial here.
Then on Saturday, we’ll head back to Moncton for a couple of days to visit the Bay of Fundy area.
So by Monday evening we should be back in Houlton, ME. Good old USA!
Later…
