On to St. John's

 

View of St. John's from Signal Hill

The next morning we drove to St. John's and headed for Signal Hill.  This involved driving right through Downtown along Wharf Street. It was a steep walk up from the RV compatible parking lot.

We stopped at the Visitor Centre to watch the informative film about the history of Signal Hill throughout the centuries.

And of course the obligatory selfie with a dummy.

Lots more climbing involved

To get to the Cabot Tower.

Great views all around of the city, the harbour,

And Fort Amherst at the mouth of the Harbour.

We looked for whales, but no luck.

Below is the best view of Quidi Vidi we could get since we weren't able to visit this tourism hotspot.   A quaint fishing village right in the city! 

Afterwards we drove to our campsite at La Manche Provincial Park.

There is a swimming lake here and a small but attractive falls we walked to after barbecuing sausages over the campfire.
