Arriving in St. Johns Newfoundland

After a early morning flight from Toronto to Halifax and a short stopover we finally arrive in St. Johns Newfoundland.  It was a very cold and windy April day with light snow showers every so often so we quickly grabbed a taxi and we were off to our Hotel which was known as the Hometel On Signal Hill. It was a three story brand new Condo that had been converted into a Bed and Breakfast Hotel.  . 
We checked in at the main office and they directed us to unit #12 where we had a room on the 3rd floor



Our room was on the 3rd floor and there were no elevators   It was small but cozy with a full bath, a fridge TV, Desk, Easyboy chair and snacks we could purchase if we wanted.
The 2nd floor had a full kitchen and dining room but breakfast was provided in the first condo where the office was  It was your typical bed and breakfast type with homemade muffins, cereal , toast and eggs, coffee tea and juice.  I managed to eat my fill each morning.  after all it was free.


It was a short 10 minute walk downhill to were Dave and Cathy, Christina , Gerry and Trish were staying at the Courtyard Hotel
On the way down we saw the harbour which was directly behind their hotel.  Although it looked as if it was snowing it actually was birds flying around.

Their hotel was almost at the start of the downtown area
