Signal Hill and The Far East of the Western World | Wednesday, June 6, 2012 • 9:00 am – 12:30 pmFirst off today we will visit the National Park at Cape Spear, the most easterly point of land in North America. Here the lighthouse has been restored to circa 1836. Explore the bunkers built by Canadian soldiers in the side of the cliffs here during the Second World War. Now you can say you have been to the other "Far East"" where you can stand with your back to the Atlantic and face every other being in North America - or turn your back on them. The choice is yours. From Cape Spear we tour old St. John's with plenty of time to see such National historic sights as Cabot Tower and Signal Hill. Hear the legends of Dead Man's Pond, and Government House and the history surrounding the Colonial Building. This tour will orient you and give you a feel for the history, legend and lore of St. John's, the oldest community in North America. Return to downtown St. John’s and enjoy lunch at one of St. John’s authentic eastern cuisine restaurants. Finish your day with shopping on the downtown streets where you will experience some of the finest fashion, art and unique cultural crafts that eastern Canada has to offer.

PRICE PER PERSON: $50.00 includes transportation, and local guide. Price does not include the cost of lunch.

Lighthouse Picnic at the Colony of Avalon | Thursday, June 7, 2012 • 9:00 am – 3:30 pmToday we head south of St. John’s on the Irish Loop. This driving route takes us along the southern shore through communities settled by Irish immigrants in the mid 18th century. Our destination today is the town of Ferryland. George Calvert, later Lord Baltimore, founded the colony in 1621. Most people have no idea that permanent European settlement in North America dates so far back, and that Newfoundland played such an important role. The Ferryland settlement was "forgotten", and its remains lay undisturbed for centuries. The site is now being excavated. Constructed of stone, the buildings have left substantial remains. Archaeologists have uncovered over a million artifacts to date – gold rings, Portuguese ceramics and other unusual objects – as well as a smithy, a stone-walled well, a sea-flushed privy and the "pretty street" described in very early accounts. We will tour the interpretation centre and the Colony of Avalon site. After touring the site the group will take the leisurely 35-minute walk to the Ferryland Lighthouse. Along the way we pass some of the remains of Lord Baltimore’s Colony, Goose Island, Isle aux Bois and in a single glance the sights of the Torhamvan shipwreck. As one of the oldest communities in North America we are retracing the steps people have walked for hundreds of years, scanning the sea for warships and privateers. The vista for us is far more peaceful and overlooks a quiet harbour, the Ferryland Museum and the Holy Trinity Church. At the lighthouse we meet Jill Curran, the proprietor of the Ferryland Lighthouse Picnics. Jill will set the group up on blankets on the hillsides overlooking the ocean and serve them individual gourmet picnic lunches. This location has been featured by MacLean’s magazine, Canada AM, and En Route magazine. After lunch we have the opportunity to take a tour of the lighthouse before we head back to Ferryland for our trip back to St. John’s.

PRICE PER PERSON: $110.00 includes transportation by motor coach, local guide, all entrance fees, and lunch.
