For our first full day in Halifax, we started the morning at the Halifax Citadel. The complex is actually very large and there’s many areas and exhibits to explore inside. We first joined a walking tour, which gave us a more detailed insight into why the fort was built and how it was used as a point of defence. We saw some gun firing demonstrations, the changing of the guards, and stayed for the ceremonial firing of the noon cannon….
Day 3 of our East Coast trip was our main travel day. We had to take a 5-hour bus ride from Charlottetown to our next destination – Halifax. Of course the only day you need to wake up at a certain time is when you naturally sleep through your alarm. Lol. Luckily we made it to the bus stop in plenty of time to catch our bus.

In some ways I will miss this view from our hotel room. The airport in Yellowknife is pretty small, so it didn’t really take long to get checked in. Everyone pretty much had to wait…
