Newfoundland here we come!

Had a nice quiet sleep in Sheet Harbour this morning. After breakfast and after enjoying our wonderful internet connection, we saddled up the RoadTrek and headed out for Sydney. Along the way we came upon the beautiful little town of Sherbrooke and stopped for second breakfast. We then stopped to feed the RoadTrek and pump air in her shoes. What a treat: the attendant handled the air, pumped the gas and washed the windshield. Almost made us uncomfortable since we have long forgotten what a "service" gas station is supposed to do.
Stop for second breakfast.

The scenery is beautiful up here. Very sparsely populated and very few cars on the road and even fewer hateful big trucks. Certainly NOT Interstate 81 by a long shot.
This is not Interstate 81.

We tried once again to buy a cheap pay-as-you-go telephone like our Tracfones. No luck! It appears that Canada must not like Americans using their cell phones. Our Tracfones don't work and our MiFi device doesn't work, and they have so many telephone companies that you lose track. Oh well, I don't like phones anyway and prefer email. American teenagers would go crazy up here not being able to text all day long.

We stopped outside Sydney for dinner and had lobster and mussels. Really great dinner.

Now we are waiting in our RoadTrek to board the ferry to Newfoundland for our night crossing.
