2018 Eastern Canada trip: Day thirteen - From North Sydney to Saint John's

Ladies and gentlemen,

On the thirteenth day of my trip across Eastern Canada, I arrived in Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador and drove all the way to the province's capital Saint John's. I immediately fell in love with the savage, isolated and colourful island and its charming inhabitants.

Highlights: Castle Hill National Histoiric Site was one of the most stunning sites I vistited on my trip and offered spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and the city of Placentia and its surroundings. Cape Saint Mary's Ecological Reserve with its numerous types of birds was also absolutely stunning. I bought a beautifuln shirt and three stuffed animals at its shop. Salmonier Nature Park was also a highlight with a one-hour boardwalk tour through beautiful natural landscapes and big enclosures for numerous local animals.

Curiosities: While visiting Salmonier Nature Park was a fascinating experience, the noisy local tourists were annoying both the animals and me.
