Signal Hill & St.Johns to Tors Cove Sept 06/06

We got up this morning in our hotel in St Johns and got packed and then met Brian's sister Lorraine in the coffee shop for breakfast. She was very nice and gave us the keys to her cottage at Tors Cove. Judy and I then left for a bit of a tour of the inlet before St John's and then we went to Signal Hill. From that spot you can also see the old cannon batterys where they used to protect the harbour back in the 1700's. Across the way was Fort Amherst. We also saw a big IRVING oil tanker come in the harbour while we were on Signal Hill and watched as the small boat took the Harbour pilot out to the tanker. This pilot boards the tanker and brings it in to the harbour very carefully.Then we started heading for Tors Cove We got on the wrong road for a bit but finally got on track and stopped at some outports along the way to the cabin.
