Maritime of My Life (Pt. 68) - Flight from Halifax, NS to St. John's, NL

Описание: July 10, 2017 - I've come this far east, but I have to keep going - I still have one more province to go, and I'll collect the whole set: all ten Canadian provinces!

My Westjet flight from Halifax, Nova Scotia to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, is only two hours, but there was a lot to see! Thanks to the beautiful weather I was blessed with this day, I could see virtually all of Nova Scotia, clear over to the Bay of Fundy and Northumberland Strait, with both New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, just on the horizon.

We get a good view of Cape Breton Island, and even a little piece of France - the colony of Saint Pierre et Miquelon - before coming in over the Avalon Penninsula and southeast Newfoundland, to a grande circle around downtown St. John's and its harbour, before finally landing at St. John's International Airport, 15 minutes outside of downtown.

Other great sights I saw: Signal Hill, Cape Spear, Quidi Vidi Lake, and a whole lot of roads I claimed to be the famed Trans-Canada Highway (some of which were correct)!

Oh, and that iceberg out in the Atlantic. It was very rare to see one this far south this late in the year, but that's 100% Greenlandian Iceberg right there, b'y!

How she goin' my trout, Newfoundland?
