๐จ๐ฆ Canada's Oldest Port: St. John's DIY Adventure
โน๏ธ Fun fact: Canada has TWO "St. Johns"โ St. John's, Newfoundland (where we are!) Saint John, New Brunswick ๐ข Cruise Port Tips $60 USD tours at the dock cover major sights (great for first-timers!). Cheaper/more thorough than cruise excursions! We skipped it this timeโopted for a chill city stroll instead. ๐๏ธ About the City Built on steep hills (hello, leg day! ๐ฆต๐ ) Most buildings: late 1800sโearly 1900s Population: ~200k Once cod-fishing capital, now thrives on tourism & offshore oil ๐ณ Money Matters No cash needed! Credit cards work everywhere. Sad wallet news: CAD has dropped vs USD since our last trip (remember when it was 1:1 with USD? ๐ญ) ๐ Must-See "0 KM" Marker at City Hall Marks the eastern start of the Trans-Canada Highway (7,821 km to Victoria, BC!). Road trip dream? ๐๐จ #CanadaTravel #Newfoundland #CruiseLife #RoadTripCanada #StJohns
