Halifax, NS
Now we are getting to the weather I wanted. A cool 65, with a slight breeze. A real nice change from the 90's I am used to in Ft. Lauderdale.
Halifax is a rather large town, with a myriad of things to do. Even though the cruise terminal is a hike from the main touristy area.
One of Halifax's claims to fame is that it was the port that they launched the Titanic rescue ships from. So if has a large calling to the Titanic disaster. See the maritime museum and take a tour that goes past the cemetary, where most of the victims are buried.
Halifax also has a large British citadel at the top of a hill overlooking the city. It was a very steep climb, but it was worth it to see the city. We also visited the local museum of science, and did some shopping.
Overall we had a full, fun day in Halifax. Plus this was the day that they lifted the health ban on the ship. So we had sugar, salt and pepper on our tables again. The only thing that I missed was the staff serving you your food in the buffet line. I know they did it as a health precaution, but it was nice. And it also helped control portions.
See you next time.
