The word 'ואז' connects two sequential actions, indicating what happened next in a series of events.
לקחנו מטרו לעיר העתיקה ואז חיפשנו מסעדה לאכול בה.
We took the metro to the old city, and then we looked for a restaurant to eat at.
Here 'ואז' is used to show the chronological order between two activities.
