We had a great day (August 16) at sea. The crew surprised us with a zoo of towel animals. They tend to leave a different towel animal on your bed each night. But, it was quite a treat to see the creative jungle the housekeeping department arranged around the pool. The staff on our ship has been just excellent. They always find ways to keep passengers comfortable, happy, and entertained.
And suddenly we are in Newfoundland again! How did this happen? We have only two more ports before our “cruise of a lifetime” ends–another stop in Newfoundland, a stop in Nova Scotia, and then back to Boston, where the adventure began and will end.
St. Anthony was another lovely port in the largest town on the island portion of Newfoundland. It’s famous for being a stop on the historic Viking Trail, which is why it is a fitting port for this cruise. We wandered toward town and a found ourselves at the library, which was closed, but allowed visitors to come in to use the WIFI and experience the polar bear exhibit. Unfortunately, that was the only polar bear we saw on the trip!
It was a quiet day in St. Anthony. Most of the shops were closed, but in addition to the library, we visited the local coffee shop and stopped at a little gift shop. We enjoyed our walk. The views and flowers were beautiful.
Tomorrow–St. John’s, Newfoundland.
