And the great trek comes to an end
We're home!

We got home today around 3:30pm after a short day of driving. The day started late as we left the hotel around 9:30am and drove to the border. After stopping just before the border to top up, we headed to the border crossing where the process of bringing the inherited stuff across the border was not bad. The only thing we have to pay is some money to Transport Canada for bringing a vehicle in the country.

We then drove to the ferry terminal and sat there for at least an hour and a half as we got to the terminal about the time that the previous ferry left. Not that we would have been able to get on it as they were already advertising that the next ferry was 13% full. So we visited the shop area - which unfortunately was mostly closed because they were having a power failure.

We had hoped that we would get to eat at the buffet when we got on the ferry, but we ended up on an older ferry that did not have a buffet area. We spent a good part of the ferry crossing waiting in line for the restaurant so we could get our lunch. Turns out that they now serve "White Spot" food on the ferry so we had burgers and fries for lunch. A long way from the all you can eat buffet, but what can you do.

So we are now home, and all that is left to do is empty the truck and return it. We get a storage locker free for a month from U-Haul so we will be putting the stuff there. We have our work cut out for us tomorrow as we will be doing the unloading then.

Good night!
