Day 28:Sat Sep 9:Placentia NL to Sydney NS

We were up at 06:00 this morning to get packed and head to the ferry terminal at Argentia. Had aquick coffee and loaded the bike and were off at 07:00. Drove to the terminal which is only about 10 minutes from Placentia and got in line. We boarded first and tied the bike dwn and went topside to start the 14 hour ride to Sydney. We had breakfast on board and then spent most of the day wandering around the boat as we cruised to Sydney. We had more cod fish for lunch and then sat in the bar for the rest of the journey except for a couple of hours spent at the bow watching for whales. We saw about 6 or 8 of them over about an hour but didnt get any pictures because they just came up for air and dove again. We listened to a pretty good two man combo in the bar. They sang mostly Newfy tunes and we bought one of their CD's.
We docked in Sydney at 22:00 and got off the boat and headed for the city. We got a room in sort of a dump motel but we were too tired to look any further for a better one. We are going to meet up with my buddy myles again tomorrow for a visit then start out for Halifax.
