Day 16 (October 2nd) To Halifax, Novia Scotia

Our route from Vancouver to Halifax via Jasper

After a reasonable night's sleep and a good breakfast we found we were having a good weather day.  The train journey was smooth with very few stops and the colours of the fall were very evident outside.  We were able to spend some time in the observation car which made looking at the trees, rivers, lakes and settlements we passed very enjoyable.  We were obviously very near water all the time.

we seemed to be close to home!

We eventually made it to Halifax during the early evening.  The hotel was next to the station and we quickly settled in.  There was a supermarket opposite and we managed to buy hot chicken and chips for our supper which was all we needed!
