Odometer - 25544.0
Woke up this morning to gun shots and sunshine. We hope they got a moose. We decided since it was such a nice day, not having far to travel today, we should do some housekeeping. Laundry is $3 a load, at ten we started westward (actually south) on the TCH - the Gilly mountains on our right (hills covered with trees). The scenery is not as spectacular as the rest we've seen on this island. Arriving in Port-aux-Basque early, we drove the most southerly road to the end of the line at Rose Blanche - The road was only completed in 1965. Enjoyed visiting the lighthouse, the only Canadian lighthouse built of granite, first in the 1870's and rebuilt in 1996 from the same quarry. Remained a beautiful, sunny, warm day. Checked out the town of Port-aux-Basque, a small hilly town which seems to revolve around trucking and the ferry terminal. At 6 PM hit the ferry staging area and got in line to await our ferry ride to North Sydney - a nice, new ferry and good beds. Tomorrow we head towards Halifax.
