I recently arrived home, following a six-day Canadian East Coast trip with stops in Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

For the next several days, I will be posting my photos. The first entry, which was my first stop during this trip: Newfoundland.

I stayed in St. John’s for two days, and travelled the Avalon Peninsula.

The weather was extremely foggy in St. John’s, with the temperature sitting around 3C – locals tell us the weather doesn’t really warm up until the July and August. But once we headed south, the skies cleared and we were able to visit Bay Bulls (to see the icebergs), Bear Cove (more icebergs), and Portugal Cove (fossils). We also made stops at Signal Hill and the most easterly spot in North America: Cape Spear.

For dinner, we hit up Yellow Belly Brewery – a downtown pub with a cool “hipster” type atmosphere. We ordered their classic pizza to share.
