After a late arrival into Agentia, we slept in and did not have to leave for St Johns until 1100. The drive was beautiful with many lakes and rolling hills along the way. The rv park in St Johns was huge. There were already 3 other caravans there and several independents. We had a 430 pick up to take us to the bay for whale and bird watching. Today we saw humpback whales, a cow and calf. They came within feet of the boat, almost like they were performing for us. Gull Island is a bird sanctuary with Puffins and several kinds of sea gulls. The guide was very informative as to their habits. The boat took us very close to the shore and great pictures could be taken. After the boat ride we had a typical Newfoundland dinner. It was haddock, special salad and special desert. The food was very good.
