  • In episode 175 - we explore the city of St. John's, the largest city in Newfoundland and the easternmost city in North America. Here we take a food tour trying some local dishes, finding the best fish and chips, and exploring the best things to do in the city. We also visit Quidi Vidi, a cute coastal neighborhood of St. John's, visit Signal Hill, and Cape Spear, the easternmost point in all of North America.

    Great video guys. Too much to cram it all in with a short trip, but you did hit some of the good ones.

    God Bless Wyatt! Can’t help smiling every time I see him! We did our East Coast road trip from Toronto in August 2022 visiting many of the spots you hit. St. John’s is my wife’s hometown and her first time back in 30 years. If you’re ever back in St. John’s, there’s a great hike from the top of Signal Hill to The Battery with great views of the harbour. Lots of blueberries on the way. Safe Travels!

    @davidbutt406 8 месяцев назад +1

    The name Signal Hill far predates Marconi’s wireless experiment. As merchant ships approached the coast, a flag representing the merchant would be flown on the top of the hill, allowing the longshoremen to gather at the wharves to unload, and reload the ships. Since these employees would be scattered across the town, this allowed the quickest management of incoming goods.

So happy the weather worked out for you, we were there for 3 weeks in June and it was cold and foggy every day! So many other things I could recommend for the surrounding area.... Petty Harbour, Bay Bulls, Ferryland to name a few! Hope you get to visit the Bonavista area and Gros Morne National Park! Happy travels!!

    Well after watching your Halifax video we realized we missed the St. Johns visit so we had to back track 👣 lol. A good friend of my two sons ran the Quiddy Viddy fish truck (that's how its pronounced so you got it perfect lol( anyway last spring while we were in town we were treated to an order of that delicious fish and chips. Well last one for tonight but I'm sure we'll be checking more in the coming days.

    Long long journey from the UK though with there being no direct flights to Newfoundland. We had to fly way past were we needed to be. All the way to Toronto to catch a connecting flight all the way back to Newfoundland 😞 not fun.

      @@dilemma958 Yea because a city with the head branches of every big business in the province is small. With giant ships in the harbour. Who cares where you've been. Know where you're at. Whats the point of traveling if your macro knowledge is zero by the end. Imagine finishing school but you cant do basic math. That's what this is, but I guess that has gone right over your head too. Like I said the stupidity of most people is annoying.

Also St John’s is not a little town LOL. Population from 2021 census - City 110,525 - Urban 178,427 - Metro 205,955

      Don’t be so rude. If you come from big cities like New York, Toronto, etc. , you could easily call St. John’s a town. There’s a reason why people outside St.John’s often say “we are going to town” when they are going to St. John’s. They don’t say “we are going to St. John’s”.
