We had a 5am start to the day to get us to the airport in time to catch our flight to Halifax. The plane was delayed due to technical problems and with the hour's time difference it was nearly 3pm the time we arrived at our hotel. Prior to leaving home we had established that the Royal International Nova Scotia Tattoo was on while we were there. We were close enough to walk to the stadium and enjoy this spectacle that night. Before picking up our motorhome the next day we took a bus tour of Halifax. Perched high on the hill above the town is a fort were we witnessed the changing of the guards. We also visited the cemetary where the 200 plus bodied that were recovered from off the Titanic are buried. The film certainly helped to put the city on the map and despite the film being fictious in places there is a headstone for J. Dawson ( of Jack fame) and several other names that are mentioned. We picked up our motorhome just as the rain came down; found Walmart and did some shopping and decided to park in their parking lot for the night. Walmart allows people to do this as long as they leave during the day. The rain persisted!
