• The final act.

    October 4 in Canada ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

    As if the small matter of a 300 mile drive to Halifax wasn't enough, online check-in was playing up and was suggesting no checked bags were allowed and still there was returning the car to contend with. All good fun. Managed to finish pretty much everything in the fridge for breakie. Quick scoot down to the beach. Ryan made a quick appearance to say goodbye as did the herd as we were driving away. Sad to go. Just a couple of stops along the way and made it to Halifax for around 2ish - rather than spend too much time in the airport decided to head down to Pleasance Point in the city - a nice coastal park that we enjoyed on our previous visit to Halifax. It proved to be a fittingly peaceful final act of the holiday. Hard to believe we were in a city. They do urban parks really well in Canada. Only slight downside was finding out that Liverpool were losing. Ambled back to the car & braced for the challenging stuff, except it wasn't. Car had a cursory check - no charges. On to check-in, all ready for an argument. Really nice lady sorted us emergency exit seats & the bags were sorted through to Manchester no charges. No queues at security & everyone was very friendly. Settled down to wait for boarding.Read more
