The Candy AppleJust back from an approximately 500km round trip in the Micra SV auto. Averaged 6.2L/100km. Drove from St. John's to Argentia/Placentia Newfoundland, then to St. Mary's where we stayed overnight at my friend's cabin, then around the 'Irish Loop' through Trepassey all the way back to St. John's. Was a very nice drive and the weather was actually really nice! Here's a pic of the route, my gas mileage, and some shots of Argentia.
Argentia was a US Air Force base that operated from WWII, through the cold war, and closed down in 1994. Most of the structures have been demolished save for one hangar and a warehouse as shown in the first couple of pictures. You can also see what used to be the old runway and the landing lights. Also the last pics were of one of many hidden explosive bunkers still standing there.
