Yes, there is an apostrophe in St John's....I've always gotten St. John's mixed up with Saint John in New Brunswick.
We woke up in Norris Point (near Gros Morne) to pouring rain, but we were happy that the rain had held off until we finished climbing Gros Morne mountain. Our drive to St John's was long, but the highway is well paved, and pretty easy compared to the earlier roads we've been driving on.
We passed through Gander, and arrived in the capital of NFLD around 5pm.
Our hotel is at the historic Murray Premise , which used to be a shipping warehouse back when Cod fishing was the main industry in NFLD.
St John's is picturesque with brightly painted row houses, and a nice downtown near the waterfront.
Tomorrow we tour signal hill, and then board the 16hr ferry back to Nova Scotia
