Before I start posting photos....here are a few details. I travelled there with Laura and Jeremy. We drove to Sydney first and made some visits with friends of both Laura and Jeremy. We left by ferry at 11:45pm and arrived in Port Aux Basques at 6:30am. We travelled on a newer ferry, Blue Puttes, and it was a pleasant improvement from past ferries.
From Port Aux Basques we drove to Burgeo....about a 3 hour drive....and stopped first at Marg and Guy's home...Nancy, Marcy and Max visited us there and then we dropped over to see Frank and Lil ( enjoyed a lovely lunch with them) At around 2pm we boarded the coastal ferry for a 4 hour journey to Francois. We had one stop at Grey River. It was a beautiful day, but my tummy didn't handle the motion well....I'll say no more.
We arrived in Francois around 6 and were greeted by many on the wharf...then over to Aubrey and Bernice's for a lovely dinner....
