From Tuktoyaktuk to Newfoundland

We flew to From Tuktoyactuk, NT to Nova Scotia.  We bought a car in NS, or George's brother did, then we paid him the money it had cost.  We spent 4 days there.

We took the ferry from North Sydney, NS to Port Aux Basques, NL.  The ferry trip was smooth.  I was worried I'd get sea sick, but everything was okay.  We managed to get a cabin but didn't get a lot of sleep, since the ferry took off just after midnight and we woke up at 6.

We drove from Port Aux to St. Andrews to visit with George's aunt and uncle.  Luckily they fed us tea and breakfast.  After that we drove to Badger.  We spent a few nights at a really crappy hotel in Badger, because George's house had a flood last year and we need to do some work in the house before we can live in it for the summer...maybe next summer we'll get the work done.  We bought a motor home and parked it in George's driveway...or the spot in between his driveway and his cousin's driveway.  We have the water hooked up to George's cousin, Patricia's house, and the electricity plugged into George's.  

The motor home is convenient...or so we hoped it would be.  The heat and air conditioning doesn't work and we can't get the hot water to work...so...sigh.  We're using Patricia's shower everyday.  

My back is so sore and you can't buy a massage mat in Cenral Newfoundland.  We bought a Proactive Thera 3 kit.  It helps but it's not as good as my mat.  George has a severe heat rash under his arm.  We picked up cream for him today.  So, we're both in pain and George doesn't like driving the motor home.  It seemed like a good idea at the time...it really did.  We don't have internet, other than our cellular data.  It'll probably cost extra when we get our bill.  

Yesterday was George's birthday.  We went to Friends' house, Sheldon and Bonnie's.  it was a  really nice evening.

Newfoundland is a beautiful province.  

We were on the highway and saw this fellow.  We stopped to take his picture.  He looked right at me too.  That's supposed to be good luck.  

We have a little less than 4 weeks left in Newfoundland.  Hopefully things will get easier.  From what I've learned over the past few years; anything worthwhile isn't easy.

I'll post more pictures later.
