Getting Around
Three bus routes are accessible right in front of the Basilica church, just 2 minutes from my apartment. Route 15 is the most direct bus route to the Avalon Mall, but also goes in the opposite direction to scenic Quidi Vidi Village.
Route 2 (west bound) will take you to the Village Mall and east bound to Quidi Vidi/Pleasantville and eventually the Avalon Mall.
Route 10 will take you downtown if the hills are hard on your knees, and then comes back uphill to head to Memorial University, the Avalon Mall, and Kelsey Drive (Wal-Mart, etc.)

Arts & Culture
The Quidi Vidi Village Plantation is the perfect place to pick up gifts for friends, family, and especially yourself! With ten unique artisans working in their studios there is always something new to discover. Purchasing fine craft is a special thing, enriched by this opportunity to chat with its maker, get to know their process, and see all the hard work and unique methods that go into the crafting of their product.
While in Quidi Vidi Village, visit Mallard Cottage for a delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Dine in the charming atmosphere of locally crafted decor and dinnerware, on locally harvested and sourced meats and vegetables.
After your tour of the Quidi Vidi Village Plantation and a fine meal, head over to the Quidi Vidi Brewery and enjoy a beer tasting and tour.
