Day 4 = Sept 15

I made reservations for the Newfoundland ferry for Friday.  It’s supposed to rain- may as well be under a roof on a boat.

I was awake about 6am and got a much needed shower.   Then I typed up the previous report.  Today was spent drying my stuff.  Everything not in my sidecases was soaked.

I went to what is labeled as the sight of the Marconi tower according to the sign along the road.  I couldn’t find a plaque or anything, but it sure is purty there!  (pics are still uploading- they will be in my Photobucket album.  Some good ones...  I guess the rest has to wait)
