Up a little later today - we still hadn't decided whether to stay another night or push on to Marla's mothers house. We would decide over coffee. As nice as the campsite was we decided we would leave today and cross the border at Calais today rather than tomorrow with the Canada Day crowds. Our teardrop friend dropped by and told us he was also leaving and that his campsite was going to be open if we wanted it - he had this great campsite which was right on the waters edge while ours was elevated a bit. We had already made up our minds to move on although it was tempting just to move down to his site. We had another visit then just enough time to break camp and get out before the 11AM checkout.
We got to Calais and were through Canadian Customs in about 5 minutes so looks like the right decision was made. Tomorrow would be a different story with the Canada Day crowds.
We stopped for a seafood lunch at Ossie's between St. Andrew's and St. George's. There was quite a bit of local traffic including the local police which is always a good sign for an eatery. We were the only out of province plate in the parking lot. The lobster roll was #2 for the trip while I had my first scallop roll. Yummy.
We arrived at Marla's mother's house at 354PM. We had travelled 4554 KM or 2846 miles. Time to settle in for a few days. We still haven't gotten a firm plan for the return trip but I'm sure it will come to us when we climb back into the car next week.
The Jetta's mileage was what we had hoped for as we averaged 50.8 Cdn mpg or 42.3 US mpg.
