2018 Eastern Canada trip: Day fourteen - Saint John's: Harbour Walk, The Rooms, Signal Hill

 Ladies and gentlemen,

On the fourteenth day, I stayed in Newfoundland and Labrador's stunning capital Saint John's. Since several friends of mine have already visited this beautiful city, I had gotten some great advice for things and places to visit.

Highlights: Downtown Saint John's impresses with numerous small parks, little monuments and colourful houses. The views of the city from The Rooms are spectacular. The trails all around Signal Hill National Historic Site are among the most beautiful in the entire province.

Curiosities: I bought two quite unusual and particularly entertaining new records at Fred's Record store: Nine Inch Nails' new extended play Bad Witch which can be described as experimental industrial rock while Skinflint's self-titled full-length release is traditional heavy metal from Namibia. I have listened both records dozens of times in my car on the days following their purchase.
