St. Johns NFLD cruise port tips

 St. Johns NFLD Canada is a beautiful port.  Wake up early to see the entry into the port.  If your early enough you will see the Spears Lighthouse.  This is where there is supposed to be a lot of whales feeding.  

Below are my tips:

- Unless you are very fit do not do the hike down Signal hill.  I did it but regretted when I had to jump down off rocks, lots of loose gravel and you have to hang on to a chain part of the way.  Yes the views are great but you can look from the top of signal hill.

- Both the Anglican and Catholic cathedrals are worth a visit.  You think you are in Europe both due to the size and beauty of them.  Note they are both up the hill but the public buses stop in front of the catholic and then you can walk down a block to the anglican church and then down back to the ship. 

- You will have to walk up and down hills to see the sights but its worth it.  One street up from the port are all the shops and restaurants so if you are not into hills go there. 

- The town houses are all different colours and you can take great pictures.

Hope this helps
