much to be desired After the

later zoomed onto the parking lot..
at the Hotel Nova Scotian only
`tb fiy it blocked by a motorist'

!The, bus driver almost drove away
with half, a load: of suitcases but
fortunately' we persuaded him to

•ofthe luggage • .
'Another foursome• who took the
taxiwere no more fortunate than.'`::.
the ;gang who came downtown by..
bus. By the time they got .a'taxi
(there were none at the airport)
they arrived at the, hotel the same
time as we did, paid a 'bit'more
money and missedjhe side. trip to.
Dartmouth which' we enjoyed .
up to' now, we have not created
a very favourable impression of
