We left our Air bnb shortly before 11 AM and slowly worked our way south east of the city to Petty Harbour and our favourite Newfoundland Restaurant "Chafe's Landing" where we had our usual seafood chowder and then split a 2 piece plate of lightly battered fresh codfish coupled (this time) with a really yummy Caesar salad.
With time to kill and really nasty weather we headed north to see some small towns on the north side of the city.
Later, (about 3 PM) we visited Avalon mall where I saw this T shirt in a store. Had a good laugh!
From there we went to our hotel to check in. We requested the airport shuttle for 10 AM tomorrow morning only to be informed that the shuttle was in for servicing and they didn't know when it was coming back. And that was the extent of their conversation.NO apologies or anything. Weird. I went back to the front desk after we dropped our stuff in the room and said that the shuttle was the only reason we were even staying here and quite quickly the lady said they would pay for a cab for us. I can't imagine we are the only people here needing the shuttle.
We dropped the car off at 4 PM and asked them to drive us back to the hotel. We put 4453 kms on it. Considering St John's to St. Anthony is 1100 km (each way) we did a lot of extra driving!
About 7 PM we decided to head down the street to the Denny's we went to when we first arrived but a minute or two outside in the cold, rainy conditions convinced us to see what the hotel restaurant had on the menu. We selected nachos. Hmmmm-not so good. Caro called the salsa "marmalade" because it was so sweet. Not one bit of "zip" in it.
We will watch Survivor tonight (comes on at 9:30 PM) and hopefully get a good night sleep.
