Well, it's been 3 days since the last entry. The reader's digest version of the past three days, as I'm using my phone... Saturday: Got on the ferry and managed to get a cabin. The boat was definitely built in the mid 70s, as unlike the Caribou, we had only a small sink in the room -- no shower, the bunks were made of wood, and the door used old school deadbolt locks. It wasn't a bad journey, though. I slept pretty well, despite the fact that there was little "at sea" time (I dig the rocking of a boat). Most of the boat ride was into the big lake whose name escapes me, but it's the one that connects Goose Bay to the Labrador Sea. Sunday: Drove across Labrador. 300-some miles of gravel road, occasional rain, and not near enough spectacular scenery, unlike the coastal drive portion. It was a lot like driving across Newfoundland, except unpaved. I don't think I'd do it again. But the coastal drive I would. That had small towns and great scenery, whereas the *only* thing you come across driving across Labrador is Churchill Falls, halfway through. Monday: Drove from Labrador City to Baie Comeau. Beautiful drive, about half of which is unpaved. We passed though the ghost town of Gagnon, QC, and the huge hydro damn that is known as Manic-5. It was a great drive -- just wish there was more asphalt, less gravel. I wonder when I'll get the dust out of everything. On this leg of the trip, I paid the highest diesel price of the journey -- $1.17CAN a litre. After converting, that's $3.69US a gallon. It only gets cheaper from here on out. The town of Baie-Comeau was interesting. The chain hotels were oddly full, so we stayed at the H/Motel Compte, which I think is as close as I'll ever come to staying at the famed Gobbler motel and supper club. This place had the oldest equipment you ever saw, and a bar that was lit *entirely* with Pink Neon. The capital letters are deservedly given, trust me. Tuesday: We drove from Baie-Comeau to Montreal (Laval, acutally) on a fantastically scenic drive along the northern coast of the St. Lawrence seaway. Some of the views were simply stunning. And, at one point in the drive, a bonus ferry ride, where a simple load & go car barge takes folks across Lac St. Jean (IIRC). It's a breathtaking drive and simply must be experienced. Tomorrow, we eat at the much cherished Wilfrid Pasta Bar near the hotel, hopefully tour Unibroue, then off to Ottawa for a few days before wrapping up.
