The longest day

Got up relatively early, Tom dropped us at Heathrow in plenty of time and we were off!

Alana assume her usual airport habits… listening to George Ezra while munching a pastry. Time flies by…

 First glimpse of our air-chariot.

 And ready to fly…!

The flight was smooth and uneventful. However, when we landed and switched phones back on everyone’s phone’s emergency siren went off. There had been massive flooding in the Halifax region today and yesterday, with many roads closed and residents evacuated. And it was still raining! All a little dramatic! 
Nevertheless we picked up our hire car (massive white Kia Sportage) and gingerly drove on the wrong side of the road through the rain, and arrived in Dartmouth.

We dropped our bags and headed out for tea. Luckily just ten minutes walk to downtown we found the Brightwood Brewery and pizzeria - the perfect place for us!




Adventure score: 8/10
Tiredness rating: 9/10
