At six o'clock the vans reached the Nov- otel where we would be staying for the next few days. We then checked in, received the keys to our rooms and settled in to our second story rooms. Soon after we arrived we left again for the Rideau Centre to cat supper and do a bit of shopping. When we were all back in the Novotel we went for a swim in the fifth floor pool. It was great. We enjoyed enjoyed the sauna, a steam room, a hot tub and the huge pool! There was even a weight room. The sound and lights show at Parliament Hill that we were supposed to go to was cancelled because of the pouring rain so this gave us even more time in the pool.
