We stayed in the "Oval Suite", which was the master bedroom of the original owners. The suite included a King-Size Bed, Double Jacuzzi and Fireplace. |

Our first sightseeing trip was to Signal Hill, a National Historic Site of Canada. From up on the hill, you can enjoy a spectacular view of St. John's and the Atlantic Ocean. It was here on Signal Hill, that Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal on December 12, 1901.

| There is an extensive walking trail, called the Lookout Trail, on the summit of Signal Hill |

When ships arrived, their arrival was conveyed to the town by a series of flag signals. Hence the name of Signal Hill.
Signal Hill is Canada's second largest National Historic Site. The view from the hill is spectacular showing the harbour and the adjacent coastline. |
