It's time to get back to my Cross Canada adventures to celebrate Canada's 150th Birthday. Four more to go...oh oh, the pressure is on! Next up is the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. This consists of the island of Newfoundland and mainland Labrador. This province is the youngest in Canada, joining Confederation on March 31st, 1949. Previously it had been a colony and dominion of the United Kingdom. It has a population of over 500,00 with 40% of that population living in the capital city of St John's. I visited Newfoundland for the first time in 2008 and then again in 2010 so my pictures will be a combination of both trips. On my first trip I stayed in a Bed and Breakfast run by a fantastic couple but sadly they had retired when I returned two years later so I stayed in a hostel...but a pretty cool one... Yes, I got to stay in one of St John's famous Jellybean houses...it was the orange one in the middle. These weren't as colourful as some of
