Another beautiful day for our visit to Halifax. We took the Harbour Hopper tour. The Harbour Hopper is a converted military
amphibious vehicle. Therefore we saw the
city via land and water. We also spent a
lot of time walking along the HarbourWalk which is a board walk that stretches
the entire length of Halifax harbor. There are many restaurants, shops, street
performers, etc. so the stroll was both interesting and enjoyable. We also visited the Seaport Farmers Market
which is filled with vendors of all kinds.

From Halifax we headed back west along the southern shore
and stopped at the famous Peggy’s Cove, a tiny inlet and fishing village with a
beautiful and unique-looking rocky shore. Peggy’s
Cove has the most photographed lighthouse in all of Canada.

We traveled on along the shore to Chester Basin, another
pretty little harbor, where we stopped for dinner at the Seaside Shanty
Restaurant.

We arrived back at our
B&B in time to hear our Innkeeper’s nightly trombone “Serenade to the Fish”
from the front porch. He plays several
oldies and ends with taps!
