July 26 – August 2
We are excited to finally arrive in Halifax. It was exciting to see some whales as we approached Halifax and a government helicopter thought so as well.
We are staying at the Halifax Waterfront Marina which has floating docks along the wharves downtown. It is like camping in the middle of downtown Denver with crowds of people constantly wandering by. A little different from the small towns and emote anchorages we have gotten used to. We are on the Museum Wharf in front of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. On one side is the old steamship CSS Acadia and on the other side is the WWII corvette HMCS Sackville. We got in a little exercise and hiked to the top of the hill to visit the Halifax Citadel.
We rented a car and did some sightseeing in Nova Scotia. We drove along the shore of the Bay of Funday and visited the West shore at different locations of the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark. We next went to the East shore to the Burnt Coat Head Park which has the highest tides in the world.
After that we visited Lunenburg and Peggy’s Cove.
