Day 7 Halifax and Peggy’s Cove

Day 7 Halifax and Peggy’s Cove

Today we had a great breakfast, complete with an omelet bar to start our day off. In line at breakfast we met yet another person who knows where Rogers, Ohio is. Considering the population of Rogers’s barley exceeds 200 people, I found this pretty amazing. We loaded into the bus and took a short tour of Halifax and then headed to Peggy’s Cove. We explored the cove and walked around the light house. The scenery was beautiful. We bought a few postcards and mailed them from the light house (now a post office). Some of the group saw dolphins or whales in the water!

Returning to Halifax we saw more of the town, and stopped at the citadel for a trip through some of the museums, and to watch them fire the cannon at 12 o’clock noon. Then it decided once more to rain.

We went to a local eatery called the Bluenose 2 (named after a ship), and then went to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. The Museum was fantastic. They had a wonderful display on the Titanic, as well as an exhibit on the Halifax explosion.

After we made it back to the hotel we had dinner at the Marriot. The food was amazing. The chowder and the salmon is wonderful up here. After dinner, we all shared a bottle of wine that we bought at Magnotta Winery and posed in the sou’wester for our yearly picture.

Lesson Learned: It really is a small world after all.
