Day 122. August 24. Friday. Preflight day in St. John’s NL

No Wi-Fi at the hotel last night or today while flying.  Sending lots of pics, I hope.  Not much to say except we had to say our goodbyes to new friends.  Sad.  Some of us did walk around downtown to kill time.

Some of the ‘ponds’ on the drive from the ferry to St. John’s the other day.

St. John’s court house.  Pretty impressive.

Our hotel in St. John’s was called the Jag Boutique and it was named after Mic Jagger.  All the photos were of groups from his time and all the music played in the hotel was from the 60’s and 70’s.  Really a neat hotel.  And so fancy.  We even had a dental floss dispenser hung on the wall in the bathroom.  Out best hotel on the whole trip.

Late afternoon, Kendy and I got a taxi, picked up my boxed bike, and headed to a hotel close to the airport.  Walked around some more to kill time.  I had no idea St. John’s was so big

Out taxi driver said 250,000 plus people live here.  Big hills separate parts of the town so you can’t see the whole thing.  We are 10 miles from downtown and we never left town.  I was surprised.
