π¨π¦ Canada's Oldest Port: St. John's DIY Adventure
βΉοΈ Fun fact: Canada has TWO "St. Johns"β St. John's, Newfoundland (where we are!) Saint John, New Brunswick π’ 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 timeβopted for a chill city stroll instead. ποΈ About the City Built on steep hills (hello, leg day! π¦΅π ) Most buildings: late 1800sβearly 1900s Population: ~200k Once cod-fishing capital, now thrives on tourism & offshore oil π³ 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? π) π 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? ππ¨ #CanadaTravel #Newfoundland #CruiseLife #RoadTripCanada #StJohns
