Day 3: Bank of Canada Museum

Started the day's activity in the afternoon by taking a bus to the bank of Canada museum.

The museum is located near parliament hill and is free. It had lots of exhibits on money starting with the origin of money, why it was created and it's uses. Also on display were all the Canadian notes and coins over the years along with selected notes and coins of other countries. Sadly they didn't have the Nigerian Naira and Kobo on display. The museum isn't very big and we spent about an hour in it.

After exiting the museum we walked up parliament hill to view the eternal flame. Construction of the parliament building commenced in 1859 and was completed in 1876. As at when we visited the old parliament buildings were undergoing refurbishment and maintenance which started in 2002.

Finally, we visited the Rideu Centre to do some window shopping and market analysis before returning to the apartment.Читать далее
