Best Western Chocolate Lake Hotel Halifax

... Wir durften sogar das Bier degustieren. Gesungen und gepokert wurde auch noch. Das war wirklich ein Spass. Beim Herausgehen dachten wir uns noch, toll, und das gibt es gratis! Nachdem wir uns mit ein paar Souvenirs eingedeckt zur Kasse bewegten, gab es doch das so ein Schild: Der Eintritt mit Showanimation würde 16 Dollar pro Person kosten......hüstel, hüstel.....

Nach einer regnersichen und stürmischen Nacht ging es heute auf dem Marine Drive Richtung Halifax. Das Wetter war nicht wirklich toll, es war ein grauer Tag.
Auch die Landschaft fanden wir nicht überragend. Es gab unterwegs viele abgestorbene Bäume zu sehen.
Dieser Tag geht leider ohne ein Foto zu Ende.

... in Stillwater angekommen. Das war auch nur unser Übernachtungsort, denn zu sehen gab es hier nichts.

Wir haben jedoch in Louisbourg Anja und Steffen aus Deutschland kennen gelernt. Sie waren auch wieder auf dem gleichen Campground. Den Abend haben wir dann zusammen mit einem guten Gläschen Wein verbracht und Fotos angeschaut. Es war so richtig gemütlich!

... and to see the trail. The colors are emerging with splashes of spectacular, eye-popping color. Nice trail through mixed forest but as it began to rain harder we decided to return to the van first, a nice hot latte and piece of yummy carrot cake at the Bike and Bean, a comfortable little café and bike shop in the old railway station.

The rain continued as we followed the shore of St. Margaret’s Bay and then ...

... I’ve been because their main event, the Calgary Stampede was about a month ago and so most people visit around that time. So a got myself the ‘park passport’ which meant I could go up to the top of the 90metre ski jump tower and inside The Ice Centre and the Hall of Fame and Olympic Museum. Also I just walked around and had a look. There was a lot of construction going on which was annoying; heaps of trucks and piles of dirt all over the place.

It seems ...

... the passengers had flags from England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. It was quite a sight. We decided to skip the after dinner show and to instead rent Sweeney Todd from the library. Even though I had already seen the movie last Christmas (and had known the show for even longer), I was very unsettled after it ended. Before then, I hadn't realized just how dark our cabin was with the lights off. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well that night.

... inviting pubs, and attentive service, especially at Bud the Spud. We hate that. 6. Harbor: Halifax harbor is lined with red-roofed lighthouses, tall sailing ships, grassy islands, and an inviting boardwalk. It's the second largest harbor in the world. We hate ...

... of our time in Canada. We had to organise a rail pass and also some way of getting from Halifax to Quebec where our rail pass would actually become valid!
That is no small feat when you consider that it is a 14 hour bus ride that got in at 3am *groan* and car hire was well over $1000 for a 24 hour hire at the time of year we were there! We caught a lucky break though and managed to wrangle returning a car back to Quebec for only $200 the ...

... Easier said than done. The snow blows into your eyes and the windchill whips exposed skin as the wind is channelled down the streets between the tall buildings. It was really fun. When we travelled out this afternoon for lunch and the maritime musuem (which surprisingly was closed ;-) ) the blizzard was worse, and we had to climb through the deep fresh snow as well. We had a ball. ************e is out of their houses, so we saw a deserted, white city, with the ...

... people there!
We're now just north of P.E.I. Had to watch "Sneakers" again. Fortunately I liked it (my 3rd or 4th time). We had some turbulence at one point. Exciting. Um...had my only 2 Heinekens so far (still 1h15 to go).
Well, that's my update. Hopefully when I write again, probably for the last time, I'll have my bag.
