The Fundy Rose

The next day we had to head back home. Mark had been reading about the MV Fundy Rose Ferry. It leaves Digby, Nova Scotia and arrives at St. John, New Brunswick. It would save us about 5 hours driving and looked like a very relaxing, enjoyable ride so we decided to take it.

Mark's ticket was $48. I got the senior discount so my ticket was $38. The truck costs $116.

We were told to arrive one hour before departure. We got to see the ferry coming in from St. John and unloading.

We loaded on time. The boat was full.

 Lined up and ready.

Finally, it's our turn.

Plenty of help to get us parked.

We had a beautiful day!

We walked all over the ship and sat outside before heading in for lunch.

 Plenty of room to sit outside.

One of three snack bars.

The ride was very enjoyable and took a little over two hours. It wasn't long before we were docking in St. John, New Brunswick.

 Starting to see the dock.

 We have to turn the corner.

 Getting very close to the dock.

Everything looks very small from this high up!

We were not allowed to stay in the truck while the boat was moving. We were the first row off the ferry.

Waiting our turn.

We headed to the border.

 Leaving the boat.

 Welcome to St. John.

Almost back in the good 'ol USA!

The ferry ride was a lot of fun - certainly magnet worthy!

The end to a wonderful birthday.
