we woke up at the crack of noon and found ourselves in unfamiliar territory.
after a hectic airport day and early morning arrival, the cabbie had dropped us off, with our 2 bike boxes and all of our luggage, outside the house where we had rented a room for a couple of weeks. by the time we had woken up somebody in the house, we found our room and passed out on the mattress on the floor.
my eyes opened to pink walls, a pink dresser, and a filthy carpet.
and a twin mattress (i sleep with a guy who's 6 feet, just sayin...) on the floor.
it took me a few mins to realize where the hell i was.
oh yes, st john's. we made it to the land of beer and fish....and university student houses. nice.
at the outfitter's downtown, we stocked up on campingaz for the stove...and a couple of thermarests because, well, we would be sleeping on "the rock".
after getting our bikes together and all things packed for our early morning departure, we ventured out to find our first meal of fish n' chips and some local newfie beer.
apparently Ches' is the best in town.
and the local brewery is just outside of town in Quidi Vidi...although we were saving our brewery and tasting tour for when we got back from the trip, we did manage to guzzle an Eric's Red (which isn't a red beer at all...more to come on that) and a pint of 1892 at The Duke.
