Day 13 Back to Halifax, and the start of the last leg

Today was an early morning: we need to have our bags out by 6:30. So we sat our bags out and went off to a good buffet breakfast. We made a few stops on the way to the airport including a stop at Rita's Tea Room. Evidently Rita MacNeil is a famous Canadian singer. The morning was quiet - more snoring on the bus than anything else, but we did make it to the front of the bus via daily seat rotation. The 5 of us were able to surround "Blake" which I am sure he thought was thrilling. They let people off at the airport then a handful of hotels, and we were the last on the bus being dropped off with Blake back at the Marriott. We loaded up Rhonda the Rondo with our stuff while Ann, Karen, and Nan sorted out their room, and then went out to Salty's on the water for lunch. It was been great that so many of the hotels and restaurants have had water views and nice scenery. We then walked around the boardwalk for a while and took a harbor cruise. Once the cruise was over we parted ways with Jean's friends and got back on the road.

We stopped at walmart and stocked up again on snacks and bought some Nova Scotia Tartan ( the nice lady at the tartan shop directed us to walmart where it was half the price of what we found at the tartan shop). Our next stop was in Turo where we stocked up on some cheese and lunch meat at the market we found on the way to Halifax. We pulled off for the night in Amherst, the last location to stop before we enter New Brunswick. So tonight its the Super 8 with an indoor pool, a water slide, and wireless (if you sit in just the right spot).
