I'm back - sorry, but busy times!!Day 21 took us to St. Pierre & Miquelon. These are 2 small islands just south and west of Newfoundland. These islands belong to France. The larger island is Miquelon, but the majority of the population live on the tiny island of St. Pierre.
St. Pierre does not have a harbour large enough for large ships to dock so we had to tender to shore. Unfortunately, the day was very, very foggy,
so the tenders (ship's lifeboats) had to travel in to the dock 2 at a time for safety reasons. Since those who were going on shore excursions had to travel in first, it was about 12:30 by the time we finally arrived on the island. Imagine our surprise when we discovered that most of the stores are closed from 12:00 to 1:30.
Since the town is very small, it doesn't take long to explore it and we were done before most of the stores opened again. The town is very quaint. Since it was still very foggy out on the water, we decided to head back to the ship.
