On the east coast

After a smooth 4 and a half hour direct flight on Westjet we arrived in Halifax at 2:30 in the afternoon. The airport is fairly small and it took no time at all to retrieve our luggage,find the city bus stop, and be on our way towards downtown Halifax.

A short while later we had found our car rental location and were soon driving to the hotel. 

There was still plenty of time to sightsee so we headed out walking the wonderful streets, full of brightly coloured houses built probably 80-100 years ago. 

The Halifax Citadel was only 15 minutes away and we got there  just before closing time (6 P.M.). This turned out to be a good thing because it turns out there is an entry charge but a National Park pass will get us in free so today we spend more time there (they did let us in for free as there were only 5 minutes until closing)

We were soon downtown walking the streets and thoroughly enjoying the experience. We stopped at a Scottish style pub to enjoy beer and home made potato chips before continuing on to the harbour front.

By now we were getting tired so we headed back to the hotel which was about  2 1/2 kilometres away. Next to the hotel was another pub (pubs are called "Public Houses") for a glass of wine and then to the room for a good nights sleep.

The internet is terrible in the room so I have to write this is a common room down the hallway.
