When we arrived in St. Johns, we looked out out balcony door and saw nothing. We were fogged in. As the fog lifted we were able to see to see a beautiful, colorful town.
We decided to take a taxi tour of the island. As we talked about it, another couple asked if they could join us, so off the four of us went to see this island.
The first place we went was to see the cliffs and rocky coast, but the fog had not lifted on the cliffs
Even though we couldn’t see much, what we did see was pretty neat.
We continued on, back down to sea level, to a small fishing village

We got to the town and found some fishermen cleaning cod fishes, since it was fishing season, We were hoping that we could go out fishing with one of the fishermen, since they can only keep 6 fish per person, we could go along and they could keep 12 more fish, but it didn’t work out. They were already going to take some of their friends with them on their next outing, oh, well.
We picked up fish and chips here, since our driver said they were the best on the island, and they were great. Nothing better than fresh fish.
We then went to a brewery to try a couple of types of local beer. We continued our tastings of local brews…..
Our driver dropped us off at Signal Hill, since we wanted to walk back to town. Signal Hill is where, on December 12, 1901 Marconi received the first transatlantic radio signal. We didn’t know that happened here, did you?
The view from up here is great, too.
There is the Emerald Princess, waiting to take us home to NY.
