After a wonderful time in St. John's, it was time to see Cape Spear.
 |
| Drove along the waterfront when leaving St. John's, and saw this cruise ship from Southampton, England that arrived in the morning. |
 |
| Looking back over the city |
 |
| The Rooms dominate the skyline |
 |
| Much history on Cape Spear |
 |
| We're standing at the most easterly point of North America, the closest to Europe. |
 |
 |
| That's some big gun barrel |
 |
| Rusting away |
 |
| Long passage way leading from underground |
 |
| Everything would have been completely hidden from sea view |
 |
| Wow |
 |
| The original lighthouse perched high on the cliff |
 |
| The newer active lighthouse |
 |
| Overlooking the parking area with Signal Hill and the entrance to St. John's harbour in the distance (left). |
 |
| Red chairs were seen all over Newfoundland |
 |

| Supply room |
 |
| Can't do without this |
 |
| Sure was another windy and overcast day, but great for photography. |
 |
| Signal Hill and entrance to St. John's |
 |
| Made a stop in Petty Harbour |
 |
| Just happened to come by at the right time, so took in the service. |
 |
| Young children bringing in a small at start of ceremony |
 |
| The whole service was dedicated to the hard life of the fishermen |
 |
| Went down to the dock for the blessing of the boats in a downpour. |
