Apparently a historical little village on the route to St.Johns; not very motorcycle friendly - lots of sharp uphill turns with blind hills. We stopped to take a walk, but it was too hot to change so we trudged around in all our gear. Took 1 picture, had some ice cream and moved on.
Arrived early in Sr. John's at the Murray premises - Jan was proud :)
We promptly went to the highly recommended "Duke of Duckworth's" for the reputedly best fish and chips in town.
With local intel (Thanks Joe Power) we made sure to order our fries with dressing and gravy. It was like Thanksgiving on a plate!!!!! Definitely the best fish and chips ever - and we've have tried a lot of fish and chips - including Ireland.
As Marc and Mary do in every city we visit, they tried to pay a call on the local constabulary. In Newfoundland, it' been a bit of a challenge, In fact, after this photo, the local police, sounded the alarm due to the suspicious characters lurking outside the 'Lockup"
Marc waved and they scurried away.
We did a tour of downtown St. John's. Lots of good shops and pubs - but when we came upon the Harbour Park, Mary had to cuddle up to the Newfoundland dog statue. She misses Bosco :(
Of course we paid a visit to George Street and enjoyed some local music and a few pints.
After several stops at various pubs we headed back to our rooms at the Murray Premises since Joe needed to satisfy his 'munchie' craving with his coveted 'Bridge Mixture'. He compare it to 'Lucky Charms' but have you ever tried it?????
