(The Battery)
following a wonderful Pakistani lunch at International Flavours (which i found amusing to travel all the way to St. John's from Toronto for some of the best Indian food i've ever had) we made a trip to Signal Hill and then back through the The Battery, via the scenic North Head Trail...all while bob's bike was getting fixed up at Cychotic (see previous post re: broken chain and chain tool).
nestled in a cove in St. John's, on the steep side of Signal Hill, the neighbourhood known as The Battery, once a prosperous fishing village, is a now eclectic mix of artists and tourists who have taken over some of the dilapidated homes and fishing stages.
not much fishing goes on here anymore, but the woman in the pottery shop tells us that the odd iceberg floats in on occasion...as well as the family of otters who live in the bay (which we got to witness squealing and playing hide and seek with eachother).
yup, i could live here.
