I was up at the crack of dawn to watch us sail in to the gateway of Canada. The nearest point from sailing over from England to Canada. We had crossed the Atlantic and had been sailing for five days. Now we were ready to get off the ship and stand on dry land.
St. John’s, a city on Newfoundland island off Canada’s Atlantic coast, is the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador province. Its harbour was settled by the British in the 1600s. Downtown is known for its colourful row houses. Above the city is Signal Hill with walking trails and the site of the first transatlantic wireless communication, Cabot Tower, which commemorates John Cabot’s discovery of Newfoundland.
St. JOHN’S, a sleepy quaint town, with colourful buildings and the cutest town centre. I felt like I was walking through a film set, as this sort of street, I had seen in the movies, but now it was real.
We walked along the street and toured the coloured homes which looked ever so cute.
We were amused by the lofe size moose that was stuffed and greeting people in a bar. Not a usual signting. Of course, I had to get a selfie with the moose, as it isn’t something you see everyday 😄
St. JOHN, you were memorable and a great place to explore for the day.

Hi I love to travel, I love to socialise and celebrate life. At an early age, I had a taste for travel and adventure. In my 20's I was fortunate enough to get a job travelling the world on cruise ships, whilst working for "The Shops on Board". My sailing years took me to America, The Caribbean, across the world to Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. I even had the memorable chance to sail along the Amazon River through the jungle. Later on in life, with our three children, Ray and I would take our family to different places, and go exploring to find new areas we would never have seen before.
The spirit of adventure never leaves us, we still keep finding new places, here in the UK and abroad.
Now we are proud grandparents to the adorable Harley & Jessica.
Because of my love for travel & adventure, I have chosen a way of working to complement my love for people and socialising. I am a celebrant who loves to celebrate life whilst creating life time memories. I am using this blog site to talk about my passions. Travel, celebrant work, my love of photography and my beautiful family, which is so important to me. Life is for living, so let's embrace what we do as best as we can 💟💛
