Some scenes from da boat trip last week n this.

Fran had the time catching up with old buddies and acquaintances n the like, spent most of time up in lounge or down on the dock hav’n da smoke. The rumor that all the smokers were taking an illicit puff at da back of da boat is just that, rumors.




On the trip down [or up depending on who you talk to] the fog and drizzle was intense, it did not clear up until we passed Rigolett. The early arrival in Hopedale did not deter one of Fran’s sisters walking over to pay a short visit, Fran urged me to take a picture of the lonely figure as she walk back to work.










I can not pass up an opportunity to show the carpet of our first class cabin # 202.
It costs $444.40 Nain to Goose Bay for that cabin, quite disgraceful really.

The total cost for Fran and self one way came to $757.77. Plus meals of course, if you could call them that, but that is another much longer story.

Love the pics of the two sisters having a good old giggle. So that's what Hopedale looks like, I recognise the fog from my days in St John's!
And I had to laugh about you taking a pic of the grotty cabin carpet, but you're right, for that much money you deserve a Persian Rug!
