'''Newfoundland''' is an eastern Atlantic province of [[Canada]], called ''the Rock'' due to its austere geography and location as an island closing the St-Lawrence Bay.
The mainland part of the province is called [[Labrador]] and borders [[Quebec]].
There is are also ferry services to the [[France|French]] islands of ''[[Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon]]''.
There is also a second ferry in the summer that departs from Argentia, Newfoundland. This ferry costs much more to get on and also takes 8-10 hours longer, and most people heading to it are tourists who don't want to drive across the island to go back.
<!-- ?? My only advice to hitchikers hitchhikers in Newfoundland is: "Keep walking backwards me-son!"-->

Getting out: One way of getting out of St. John's is on the Pitts Memorial Drive. It's located within downtown St. John's, towards the west end of Water Street. Try planting on the small traffic island with a sign saying: TCH (Trans Canada Highway). There isn't much pull off room, but there is a stop light before and after the island, allowing for potential rides to have a good look at you.
