St. John's, Newfoundland - Cape Spear, Petty Harbour and Signal Hill

Went to get the rental car at 10:00,  we didn't get the car till 11:00, oh so slow at Enterprise.

We finally drove off the lot and headed to Cape Spear, 30 minute drive, the most easterly point of North America

From Cape Spear we were able to see whales

The Narrows - St. John's Harbor

Leaving St John's tomorrow.

Halifax, Nova Scotia to St. John's, Newfoundland

Nice hotel at the Halifax airport, highly recommend the Alt Hotel.

We had a nice flight on Porter Airlines - enjoyed my complimentary glass of chardonnay.

Arrived in St John's and decided to take a taxi to Memorial University - we're staying in the dorms.  We have a private room with private bathroom!

The dorm

Hallway of the dorm by our room

Took a walk to the harbor, a 30 minute walk. Our route took us through a cute historic district 

Lunch downtown - shared a salad and a pizza

We ate 2 pieces before I remembered to take a picture!

Tomorrow we pick up the rental car and drive out to Signal Hill and Cape Spear - the easternmost spot of North America.
