Day 36. Sept 11, 2013. Whale-watching!

We splurged and went whale-watching near our campsite in Bonavista Peninsula, Newfoundland.  It was cool...in 50s, and even colder when the boat was moving fast.  But they provided these warm slickers and we stayed toasty.  We saw 3 kinds of whales.  The most exciting was the gigantic sperm whale.  We got close enough to see and hear him blow.  Then, he made a majestic dive, with his tail high in the air, like you see in travel brochures.

On to St. John's, the capital.  Staying in a campsite in the city.  Went downtown.  It reminds me of San Francisco (really steep streets) and New Orleans .kind of gritty and a sailor-town

Someone leaving our campsite left a bunch of food and cleaning/laundry supplies to give away.  We stocked up!  They probably had flown in and rented a camper, and were now leaving.
