Thursday 25 July -- Clarenville to St. John's

We made a leisurely departure from the hotel for the drive to St. John's. It was very foggy and a bit drizzly, and there was far more traffic than we've seen since this trip started. When we got to the Delta St. John's, we were delighted to discover that our room was ready for us, so we picnicked in the room before heading out.
At Signal Hill we didn't have much of a view because of the fog or low clouds, but still enjoyed looking around. Larry chatted with the Ham Radio operator in the tower, and we read up on Marconi's feats.








There were young people in a variety of military uniforms of different eras, just dispersing from a display of some kind near the lower parking lot.
We drove around Quidi Vidi, but didn't find a parking place, so just took in the colour and atmosphere from the car.
We enjoyed a lobster dinner at the hotel, topped off by figgy duff, a traditional Newfoundland dessert. I really liked it. Larry was less enthusiastic. A nice quiet day and very comfortable hotel.
