Our original tour (a St. John river cruise) was canceled so we took a 1.5 hour bus tour around the city. I captured Bubby on the bus seat with the rose she was handed when we disembarked. She felt ripped-off because what she really wanted was the miniature Canadian flag pin that I was given. She tried to make a trade, but the welcoming committee was unobliging. She can have my pin, it is really cool.
After our bus tour, we began to wander around town in our never ending quest for seafood and the ultimate bowl of chowder. We found a nice fish restaurant near the big, open-air, city market in St. John's and we shared scallop-topped bruscetta and a huge plate of haddock fish and chips. Both were excellent, better than anything we have had on-board the ship. We wandered through a beautiful garden in King's Park, and I got Bubby to pose with the flowers.
We walked through several stores and Bubby found this really cool camouflage green t-shirt. She loved it, and had to have it. I am certain I won't have trouble spotting her in a crowd when she wears it the first time.
Bubby wanted a shot of herself with the Norwegian Dream in the background, so here you have it. We have one of the "big" picture type windows in the lower part of the ship. We are glad we opted for a window instead of an inside state room.
We attended the evening's entertainment, which was a showcase for what the week held in store. I was very excited to see that an Acclamation-type group would be on the cruise with us!! They were very good, NOT! We did enjoy the comedian who had an endearing way of laughing at his own jokes. When we returned to our room we found an elephant in our bed! I don't know how he got in there, but we pushed him off the bed because we were ready for bed! We also went to our first karaoke party that evening. One woman was really good, and we enjoyed watching her perform. Most of the others shouldn't quit their day jobs.
