Ottawa Day 1

Thursday May 12th
And so our roadtrip begins. We left Toronto around 10:30 and had to drive for 4,5 hours to reach Ottawa, the nations capital. We arrived around 4 and we headed to the Canadian War Museum. We got lucky because the museum was free to enter from 4 to 8 pm. The museum was about the Canadian perspective of many wars, starting with the native people and the British explorers. What I noticed the most was that the weapons used kept getting bigger every war they fought.
Overall it was a good museum with lots of information and many interactive things to learn about the wars.




After the museum we headed to our AirBnb place which was just a room in a house of a very nice couple. They welcomed us and showed us our room, and we met their two cats Dr. Mew and Clara. After settling in our room we headed out to Parliament hill where the government buildings are and where you're supposed to be able to see the whole city from the hillside. But sadly the hillside was closed due to construction. After walking around and taking pictures we got some food in a nice bar/restaurant. We headed home around 10:30 and we hung out with our hosts until we went to bed at 12. They are very nice people who like meeting new people through AirBnb.
