Part 2 Touring Eastern Newfoundland
We visited just about everywhere mentioned in our guide books. Here is a short list of some of the most interesting places.

At St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve we saw thousands of sea birds up close. These included northern gannets, black-legged kitty-wakes, common murres and thick-billed murres. During our travels we also saw moose, humpback, fin and minke whales and a few Atlantic White-sided Dolphins.
Cabot Tower, on Signal Hill, overlooks St. John’s harbor and town and was an important lookout and defensive post. In addition, this is where, in 1901, Marconi received the first transcontinental wireless broadcast. Nearby is the Geo Center a fascinating look at NL’s geology and other related subjects. We attended the New Found Land Trinity Pageant and toured the set where Random Passages (an award winning Canadian miniseries) was filmed. We did lots of hiking on the Bonavista Peninsula and saw hundreds of Atlantic Puffins, and several Bald Eagles.
