Laundry Day

7/24/2019

We woke to another nice day, but desperately needed to do some laundry. We couldn't find a laundromat, so had to ask. Seems the only public laundry facility was in the Harbour Authority building in Bonavista harbour. Apparently the government provides low income households with a free washer and dryer, so the only people who need a laundromat are boaters coming into the harbour, and other visitors, like campers.

Anyways, it gave David and Olivia a chance to look around at the boats...

Wow, everyone gets a free washer and dryer. How cool is that!

I am happy that you found a laundromat because it sounds like they are difficult to find. It looks like the children explored while the clothes were being cleaned.

Newfoundland is a poor province, ever since the decline of the fishing industry, especially all the outlying former fishing communities.

The Harbour Authority set up a laundromat for visiting boaters that come into the harbour in the evenings. Then when it was discovered that campers left town because there were no laundry facilities, they opened it up to campers during the day. But not many know about it, since the Harbour Master said we were the first ones to come in that week.
