On Our Way to Newfoundland

Newfoundland is a long way away (for BC ferries riders). It isn't surprising that they did not join Canada until 1949 (a subject that is hotly debated to this very day).

Pictured right is the MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood on which we travelled 14 hours each way, to and from Newfoundland and it felt like forever, even with the fabulous atmosphere of the bar (nonexistent). There are 2 ferries to Nfld, 1 that takes 6 hours and results in driving the whole length of Nfld if you are going to St John's (tortuous, we hear). This 14 hour ferry results in a 2 hour drive to St John's and is priced accordingly (not cheap but try swimming with a camper).
