Pictures from our quick stop at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist at 200 Military Road in St. John's. Pictures from the wonderful excursion Old St. John's and Cape Spear at St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada) on a rainy and misty morning on our last stop of the cruise. From the description of the excursion: "Experience the storied history and natural beauty of St. John’s, as you visit a gorgeous, historic harbor, enjoy the views from a hill with a surprising past, and explore an escarpment with the oldest surviving lighthouse in the province. Take a panoramic drive through the city, as you admire the passing architecture, which embodies the town’s legacy as the first British colonial capital, before discovering Petty Harbor, whose beautiful waters have been continuously occupied for hundreds of years. After, continue to Signal Hill, which overlooks the city and offers magnificent views of the surrounding scenery.; Marvel at the beautiful Cabot Tower, which was built in 1898 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Cabot discovering the province, and learn an interesting tidbit about the area’s history – Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless transmission upon this very hill.; Next, head over to Cape Spear, an escarpment jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean and the easternmost point in North America, where you can enjoy more incredible seascapes, and if you so wish, visit the oldest surviving lighthouse in Newfoundland - its simple construction and breathtaking panoramas are bound to captivate you long after you return to your ship." Wonderful visit, especially to Cape Spear. Taken on our last stop - September 25th, 2023. On board the Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas for a grand 14 day cruise to Greenland (September 14th through 28th, 2023). The cruise embarks from Cape Liberty (Bayonne, NJ) with an actual stop in Manhattan (a delay leaving NYC caused by Hurricane Lee); Nuuk, Qaqortoq & Nanortalik in Greenland; St.John's, Newfoundland before heading back to New York City. It was a grand adventure!
