At 10:00 we had
part two of our tour of the ship. We got
to see the laundry facilities.
Next we learned about the waste management system. The ship recycles 85% of its waste. We were surprised to learn that food waste is
chopped up and sent down a chute into the ocean. Fish food!
Lastly we saw how the ship's provisions are handled.
We arrived in St. John's
at noon, so we had lunch first and
then went ashore. We walked to Signal
Hill, almost reaching the tower on top.
We had a spectacular view of the entire city.
On the way down we walked through the Battery,
a neighborhood of colorful old wooden houses.
Our favorite neighborhood was Quiddi Vidi (pronounced
kiddy-viddy).
Walking back toward downtown, we found another Government
House and the beautiful Basilica of St. John the Baptist.
We sailed at 8:00
with many people out watching our ship leave.
The day had started out rather overcast but turned into a beautiful
sunny day with temperatures in the mid 60s.
