Yesterday we went to Signal Hill and Fort Amherst with the Pizzey's for a morning outing and had so so much fun exploring. Signal Hill is a pretty popular and historic place in Newfoundland.. it was the first lighthouse to ever receive a signal or telegram (hence the name). The site was also a big prison, then a quarantine hospital (scarey?), and then troops stationed there during world war two. You probably won't be able to see it in our pictures but all throughout the hill and cliffs there are paths for walking and hiking. I feel like we genuinely appreciated newfoundland much more after yesterday haha, it is so beautiful here!! From the top we had such an pretty view of the harbour and downtown.. so colourful. After, we went to Fort Amherst where an old lighthouse is still running and there is a bunch of old ruins which jordan and blake had fun exploring. Anyways I sound like such a tourist lol so here are some pics of our day!
Pretty view of the ocean!!
the top of Signal Hill
This was so so cool! Sign that points to different countries and tells you how far they are. Who would have known the Titanic sunk only 584 km away from where we were
View of the Harbour
Love the little houses
There were tons of old cannons everywhere
Can you imagine living there...?
quite proud of myself for taking this photo... my photography skills are expanding.. no?
this was gigantic!!
Old ruins on the coast that were literally built into the rock
love, us
