Friday 12 June. St Johns

After another Dennys breakfast we set off for Bay Bulls, which is a small fishing port a little south of St Johns. From the 1660s on it seemed to be raided by or involved in lots of wars with the Dutch, French and English. Hard to imagine on a peaceful sunny day like today.


Only a few kilometres on was Witless Bay where the water was deep blue and the seagulls were feasting on scraps from a fishing boat. It’s seems an unfortunate name but there was a Captain Whittles from Dorset who lived there with his family. After he died the family moved back to England so it was Whittles-less. This gradually became witless. We had a cuppa with a view at the Irish Loop Coffee House there.


Called in to the Avalon Shopping Centre again this afternoon and Smith found Skechers on special. Then back to our hotel to do Wordle and Waffle before heading out for dinner. Tonight we ate ribs at Montana’s BBQ & Bar and they were very sticky and very good!
