Newfoundland Day 8 – July 15 – St John’s

imageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageSpent today wandering St. John’s. Visited signal hill which acted as a lookout during the 2nd world war.  A short tour took us to Quidi Vidi harbour with it charming fishing buildings and its artisans on display.  In times gone by this harbour was where the French came in the back door to conquer St. John’s.  One of our stops was to the Terry Fox statue at mile marker 0 where he started his journey.  We walked through one of many areas housing the jelly bean houses and marvelled at the variety of colours.  The afternoon was free to wander and some headed to The Rooms, which houses an art gallery and restaurant and some headed to Water St which is the main shopping district.  Our farewell dinner at the hotel was a treat and we had to say our goodbyes.  Everyone enjoyed the trip and hopefully we will see them soon again on another adventure with WTN.
