We
divided the trip back to Massachusetts into
three days: the ferry from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia, driving almost to the US border, and driving from the border to Andover, Massachusetts.
The
7-hour ferry takes pretty much all day as you need to arrive two hours ahead of
time and it takes a while to get off the ship once the ferry docks. Here’s the
view of the deck.
We
grabbed seats close to the stern-facing window and watched as we got farther
and farther from Newfoundland.
Once we got to Nova Scotia,
we went to a campground we stayed at back in 2000 – just stopping for the
night.
The
next day we drove through northern Nova Scotia
and most of New Brunswick, camping in a quiet
wooded corner of a provincial park on the Bay of Fundy.
We were both pretty tired, but mustered the energy to walk to the beach.
We
included one last brief site-seeing destination before crossing the border –
Kingsbrae Garden in St Andrews, New Brunswick. We spent a pleasant hour there
walking through their various gardens.
And
wouldn’t you know it. The very last thing we see before leaving is… a BIG red Adirondack chair!
