St John's

We have finally crossed from one side on Newfoundland to the other, we arrived in St John's with rain and lots of wind.
We decided to drive up signal hill, and hoped not to be blown away, after a quick walk around we looked in Cabot castle a small building on top of the hill that was the spot that the first signal was sent across the Atlantic and also the first place to get the mayday calls from the titanic.
We then headed into town and found our B&B, it was very nice there was a note on the door as we entered saying where our room was, and it was a nice room. It was still early so we headed out to cape spears, a 15 minute drive from the centre of town but you fell like you a in the middle of nowhere, again it was a bit windy but I headed out and walked around the point and stood on the most eastern point of north America, there use to be two large guns here in the war and the tunnels and gun tubes are still here, i then walked up to the light house before returning to the car.
After a rest back at the B&B, we walked into George St, this street has more pub's per capita than anywhere in north America, not bad for this place.
The next day we awoke to much better weather so decided to head back up signal hill in the hope of getting better pictures although the weather was nice there was so fog out to sea.
We then headed over the hill to Quidi Vidi harbour a small harbour about 2km north of st john's harbour, from there we keep heading north to the top of the Avalon peninsula and drove a metal road to the top, from the we followed the road back down the coast looking at so ice bergs along the way.
Once we got back into St John's we went to the room, it is a big building onthe hill that is built where the old fort use to be above the harbour, inside there is a museum and art gallery, after that we walked along the harbour edge and then though town and looked in the shops, we then headed back into George St to find something for dinner.
In the morning we headed down for breakfast and talked to the other people that were staying in the B&B as well, they were a family with two from Ganger and the other from PEI, they were very nice and the people from Ganger even said we could stay with them for the night instead of the motel in Grand Falls Windsor.
We left the B&B and decided to head back to Cape spears for a look as the weather was so nice, and we were not disappointed the weather was amazing, we walked around the point and up to the light house and took lots of pictures of an ice berg that was washing against the coast.
After about an hour we started on our way to Grand Falls.
