I thought that I had my driving fix for a while, but today it was back to business. And it led me to St.John where this time 3 (three) cruise ships were spewing out thousands and thousands of passengers.

My ship today was the Norwegian Dawn, and it sure dawned on me that I was gonna spend the day driving. They had set up quite an odyssey for my group. First stop was The Reversing Falls, which, at low tide, are a real show.

For the first time I drove through a covered bridge. A seafood restaurant is around the next bend and somehow they manage to feed up to 200 people at the same time.

I just couldn’t wrap my mind around how such a place could be flooded with that many people. Anyhow, we went back to the city and did a 2. visit at The Reversing Falls.

The falls had reversed, indeed. Our trip came to an end at 4:30pm and of course I had to drive 2.5hrs home to Campobello. At Calais I stopped at Wally World to by some stuff. When I took off again there I noticed a strange vibration in the van. It seemed to come from the right front wheel. I stopped to have a look, but couldn’t find anything wrong. I continued driving,and there it was again. I think it could be a wheel bearing in trouble. I phoned Bea and asked her to meet me at the repair shop in Lubec, where I left the van until tomorrow. Hopefully, it is nothing expensive.
And now I am dead tired again. Ready to take a long sleep. |
Good luck with your repair, try and rest up again...
ReplyDeleteThere are just too many people on those huge cruise ships! I can't imagine lining up to get on and get off. I'd wonder where the day went after that. However, we love the smaller ones.
