Sept 4 2009-Newfoundland Trip-Part 3

Friday, the day before the wedding. Waking up this morning we greeted by a beautiful view of St. John's Harbour, with all the big ships coming and going! I could have sat for hours just watching these huge ships going about their business. This is another beautiful view of the harbour. Night time in St. John's.

And here we have a view of the Battery Hotel from the harbour.

After a long walk around the harbour,and the downtown section of the city, we went up to see the Cabot Tower at the top of Signal Hill.

From there we drove around to the other side of the harbour to see what was left of Fort Amherst. At one time this was where all the guns were to protect St John's from invasion. Pretty much all that was left was this lighthouse. All the guns and canons are gone now.
