Halifax, Nova Scotia to St. John's, Newfoundland

Nice hotel at the Halifax airport, highly recommend the Alt Hotel.

We had a nice flight on Porter Airlines - enjoyed my complimentary glass of chardonnay.

Arrived in St John's and decided to take a taxi to Memorial University - we're staying in the dorms.  We have a private room with private bathroom!

Took a walk to the harbor, a 30 minute walk. Our route took us through a cute historic district 

Lunch downtown - shared a salad and a pizza

We ate 2 pieces before I remembered to take a picture!

Tomorrow we pick up the rental car and drive out to Signal Hill and Cape Spear - the easternmost spot of North America.

Our last day in Halifax - museum day.  Checked out of the Waverley Inn this morning, left our bags by the front desk and did the museums - staying at the Alt Hotel attached to the airport tonight - the bus from downtown to the airport takes an hour, our flight leaves at 11:30 and we didn't want to be in a rush tomorrow morning. 

First we visited the Canadian Immigration Museum and then the Maritime Museum - a day of immigration, ship wrecks and some Titanic memorabilia.

Touring the Acadia was included in the Maritime Museum ticket - small ship

St. John's, Newfoundland here we come.
