Day 8 – St John’s

We shifted gear and spent a day in St John’s, Newfoundland’s capital city. We first visited Signal Hill, the place where Guglielmo Marconi first received the first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901.

We were thrilled to see an iceberg near the shore so we hopped into the van in hot pursuit. We ended up turning into a small cove and discovered a series of hiking trails that led to not only one but two icebergs!
