Stardust Motel- Timberlea Halifax

... 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>

... gegründet. Wir wussten nicht, dass die Führung mehr showtechnisch als informativ sein würde. Auf jeden Fall sind wir gerade angekommen, als bereits eine Frau vor dem Eingang laut rief, ob jemand an der Führung teilnehmen wolle. Wir sagten doch spontan ja dazu, und schon waren wir mittendrin. Wir waren die einzigen und kamen uns vor, wie im falschen Film. Schauspieler versetzten uns in die ...

... of things to do the following day.<br><br>Speaking of busses, we hopped onto another one which took us back to the Chebucto Inn. Ted and Marlene had returned while we were away and a very jolly reunion took place then and there. Marlene beckoned us all to come near and asked if we smelled anything? Seems she had been wearing the same set of clothes for the last five days and wanted for her family to enjoy the outcome. We had dinner at the Inn, which was excellent, and then ...

... the boat was shaded on top and down bottom they had a bar. The guide was funny but sometimes he just talked way too much. He went through all the navy&#8217;s ships, they&#8217;re names and what they were used for and none of it stuck in my head; I guess that doesn&#8217;t interest me. The best part was when we went around Point Pleasant to the south end of town and we could look at all of the mansions on the shoreline. Some of them were just amazing. And of course they all have little ...

... about - apparently the staff had no concept that there is anything wrong with flying the Union Jack on an Irish pub. That night we all went out again. I have had a month of not going to bed before midnight, a record I finally ended on Monday night when I got to bed at 11.30, but last night I was out til 1 at an open mic night at a local pub. <br><br>On Monday I went and visited the graves of the bodies of victims of the Titanic - 121 of them are ...

... about an hour they let me in but only after asking where I was going, who was I staying with, what my intentions were in the country!!<br><br>I met with Paulina and her son and cruised around Halifax for 5 days, The town has a lovely feel to it - bit oldy worldy. People seem to run on a differnet pace here but it definately has a lovely vibe to it. Its quite a clean in the downtown area which is quite small but very attractive ...

... call sounded much like a drunken sailor's whistle! Then it was time to head back to the Hotel for our pickup from Fraserway RV. We were bundled into a van and brought to their business, which is in Bedford, about a half hour drive from donwtown Halifax. After a vehicle check, etc, it was time to hit the road, but first...stock up on food! There was a Superstore close by, so we went there and I was disgusted at the lack of ...

... streetscape was a little characterless as a result, but that didn't seem to affect the hum of the place. Perhaps it is the city's maritime roots, its university students or its prosperity, but Halifax has a liveliness about it. I got all the information I needed at the tourist centre and decided with the weather and a pack to haul around that my best bet was to check out the maritime museum. The staff there were kind enough to lock my pack away in ...

... for Canada. Man, that's rude. We're allowed up to $300 of goods purchased and I thought I was way over but I started adding things up and I had trouble reaching $200! Hope I didn't forget anything. Moreover, I hope I get my bag!<br>So, I gotta get my bag, get to Dorval, go to Tom's house to get my house key (hope his Mom's home at least) and then have fun ...
