... to the airport is expensive and we make it onto our A320 to Ottawa. Lunch is at the airport and the food seems ultra ordinary after all of the cruise dining. We arrive in Calgary, are picked up at the airport then invited to a fabulous dinner at our daughters place.. Now; that is good food. <br> <br> <br>

... 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..... <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

... that is perched high above the city. The Citadel is a fort that was built to defend the city and harbour against, primarily, the Americans. It was obviously very effective in this regard because they only ever arrived aboard cruise ships. The fort is home to the 78th Highland Regiment and we were very impressed by the young college students who dress in period regalia so to fire off guns and cannons and bark orders. The Regimental Piper is from China where he learned to ...

Our time in Halifax is spent mostly on the Halifax Harbor Boardwalk. This Harbor has much history because it was the first immigration port that Canada opened it's doors for immigrants.Time is quickly gone as there is so much to see and read.<br>It is a busy harbor.

... Of course Nova Scotia's pride the - Bluenose II - she is a mighty pretty ship. Another nice vessel was from Bermuda - this vessel was built in 2006 - relatively new compared to many of the others - it was a beaut but more importantly the crew were so friendly, outgoing and enthusiastic to share their knowledge about the attributes of the vessel. Also, they were the only one's that included a tour of the ...

... easy to get about. Barrington street is the main area. <br><br>There are some lovely quaint shops in the downtown area and a lovely farmers market which we went to on the Sunday for a fab local breakfast of eggs, bacon and potatoes. <br><br>Weather was not particulary amazing - it rains a huge amount in Halifax with the temperature quite moderate - I think in the mid 60's. <br><br>Great 5 days - would love to go back to see it.

... on display. The town have really made a brilliant job and a lot of work and ingenuity has gone into it. We hope the photos do it justice. STOP PRESS - We are now managing to load photos into these travel logs, starting back with New York. It may take us some time - so please keep checking back. We moved on back towards Halifax and took one last detour down to Peggy's Cove ...

... it was in. The museum covered a large time span, from aboriginal remains found around the London area to Romans, the dark ages etc. up to the present day. Unfortunately the Dark Ages section was under refurbishment when we visited, but the rest was great, and it was also a free museum. It was exciting to learn about the establishment of railways and the tube in London and people's perceptions of the engineering feats and social status of railways. To cap of an ...

Business class, that's where I'm sitting, by the window too! This will all be definately worth it if my bag's at Mirabel. Had 2 seats to myself for a short while but then some guy couldn't handle the smoking section (Wow, how long ago does THAT sound?!?) so he came, no prob. Lotsa room here, quieter too. Fairly secluded as well. <br>Had to fill out a declaration ...
