Well St. John’s has not done too much to enamour us, as least weather-wise. We woke up to a wet, foggy drizzly morning, much as we did a few days earlier. We had a lazy start to the day hoping the weather would improve, but it didn’t. First stop was to get a new battery for Lyn’s watch, the switch to Newfoundland time had it confused enough to stop.
The weather showed no signs of improving, but we decided to head off in search of the “Jelly-Bean” houses. We found some, but the pictures are pretty drab.
Next stop was up to Signal Hill via Quidi Vidi, again the visibility was poor, but we felt we should brave the elements. Did I mention it was only 8C?

Below are two “views” from Signal Hill.
We were planning on following a coastal route rather the the Trans Canada Highway, but after a few miles we decided it wasn’t worth it. We joined the TCH and headed up to our night stop in Clarenville. The hotel is part of a Gym / Health club. It has a full size pool and sauna, so we’ll settle for a quiet relaxing day.
