After returning from Cape Spear, we drove out to Quidi Vidi Village, which is a tiny, historic fishing village just on the edge of St. John's, although when you get there, you don't really feel like you are still in the city. The village borders Quidi Vidi lake, which is the site of the annual St. John's Regatta. In the village, there are a few very old houses, some boats, an antique shop and the Quidi Vidi brewery. There is also a battery in the hills, some nice hiking trails, and of course, more amazing scenery, sheer rock cliffs and beautiful seaside vistas.
This cat apparently lived in a house just at the edge of the parking lot, but he certainly knew his way around the hills. He followed us up the steep rocks and balanced himself on the ledges more skillfully than I would've imagined a cat could.
Like most everything in Newfoundland, Quidi Vidi village was very picturesque and serene and harkened back to the fishing villages of the past.
