19 July: Leaving Belgrave Road, Arriving Halifax

We were struck, leaving the hotel the last time, at how nice Belgrave Road looked in the morning sun. This is looking south, away from Victoria Station , and this is the way we were going to walk , toward the station. When we got there, we first stopped at the Victoria Station sock shop, so Rhi could get some important souvenirs. Then we bought the tickets on the Gatwick Express, but it wasn't real clear that this was the right train. Turned out it was, and soon we were in the departure lounge at Gatwick, where we could see them refueling our "City of Ottawa." And sure enough, six hours later we were waiting for our luggage -- endlessly -- and then there was one of those cliché airport reunions.
