We headed to downtown Halifax and the harbour area. We visited Pier 21, walked along the pier and stopped in a few shops. The old downtown buildings are very nice. It surprised me how well kept the old houses were in the area.
There was a cruise ship docked outside Pier 21, man oh man what a size up close. It was actually bigger than the building. Steve was quite interested to hear that this cruise was from New York and toured the maritimes and Newfoundland. Can I hear more vacation plans be made!
We also toured Alexander Keith's Brewery. The tour was great and Steve enjoyed the beer! After a few more pictures of the Navy fleet we headed off to the Citadel.
A visit to the Citadel really remind you of the history of Halifax and how much you fogot from high school history!! Although it was still rainy and dirzzling it was quite a site. I never really understood the size until we visited and were reminded of how many soldiers/people were housed and worked there. The views of the harbour were great but would have been better if it was sunny.
We drove back to the hotel via Bedford and then toured downtown Dartmouth. All very nice but I still like a little town.
We are heading east tomorrow to Cape Breton. The weather is suppose to be better tomorrow.
More reports tomorrow.
