We arrived in Halifax
at 8:00. The forecast was for temperatures near 70,
but also rain. So we figured we'd better
get out early. We had nothing in
particular we wanted to see, mostly because we have been to Halifax
before. We did have one thing on our
agenda, to visit the Immigration Museum,
which is right next to where the ship was docked. But it wasn't open yet, so we went through
downtown and then headed up the hill.
Even though we had visited the Citadel before, I wanted to go up just to
take some photos. But there was a $6 per
person entry fee, which seemed pretty steep for a few photos. So we gave it a miss.
Next we went to the public gardens, which
were very nice.
We made a loop down past
a couple of churches and yet another Government House.
It still hadn't rained, and it was very
muggy, so it was time to head back to the museum. It was very interesting, especially the
temporary exhibit on the sinking of the 'Empress of Ireland,' Canada's
version of the 'Titanic,' in 1912. We were back on board the ship for lunch.We sailed at 4:00 for Boston, our end port.
