Day 4 – St. John’s, Newfoundland 5/20/09

We got to shore almost as soon as we could, since we were expecting my passport to arrive today we wanted to start early to see the town. Unfortunately we ran into the same problem as in Halifax, nothing opens until 10 AM! While we were waiting, we took quite a walk across the town. There was a harbor side park that had lots of statues and information about the town. (Pictured below: Rick with a Labrador and a Newfoundland dog)

Across the road from the park is a sort of general war-memorial with awesome statues.
Around 11, we headed back to the ship and hung out in our room until we got the call that our passport had arrived! We then headed back to shore looking for a place to get a drink! (Hey, we had to get rid of our Canadian dollars somehow!) The locals pointed us towards George St, where there were TONS of pubs! We stopped at Bridie Molloy’s, an Irish pub, and had ourselves a Guinness.We had a late, small lunch in the Lido, and then team trivia afterwards. We were both VERY tired from traipsing around town, so we took nearly a 4 hour nap before our 8:30 dinner reservations. We still went right back to sleep after dinner was over!
