We reserved some dormitory bunks to sleep for the long ferry voyage from Argentia to North Sydney, NS. The cabins had all been booked by the time we made reservations. When we got on board we found we had two upper bunks. I didn't want Nita going up and down a ladder, so after much hassle we got 2 lower bunks. I figured the bunks would be well furnished, what we got was a bare mattress, a pillow and one blanket and of course not much privacy, we slept in our clothes. Quite an experience, one guy was playing a western movie on his laptop sitting on his chest, I got tired of hearing the horses whinnying and asked him to turn it down, he apologised and turned it off, lots of snoring, including Nita and some pharts from unknown locations.
We got some sleep and it was better than sitting up all night in a seat as many did. The 14 hour, 320 mile trip turned into a 17 hour ride as one of the 4 engines had problems. We arrived in NS around 1:30 pm to a nice sunny 82 degree day, kinda warm compared to NL.
