Halifax Day 2 Fortress & Waterfront

September 12 - 14 2013

This capital city of Nova Scotia offers several interesting & fun things to see & do.
This Fort was one of them.  
It was used as a base for rescue operations for the Titanic in 1912 & there are some Titanic victims buried there.
This citadel sits above the city with fabulous views of the city & the
port.

 

We made 3 or 4 trips into Halifax from our camp near Peggy's Cove.
Next is the WaterFront Area

The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic sits down on the waterfront.
The waterfront has  a lovely boardwalk that not only passes behind he museum but several outdoor cafes. It's about 2 miles long with many cafe's, condo's & shops.  

Maritime Museum 

There are many exhibits highlighting the Titanic.

This ship the HMCS SACKVILLE is part of the museum too. We got to climb all over it.        Beautiful  day to do so too.

That night back at camp we again joined our new Canadian friends, Malcom & Myrtle Kennet  & their kids & grandkids for a campfire by their rig.

It rained like hell while we were at the campfire & we all piled into the Kennet's RV & shared stories , had a few drinks & finally walked back to our trailer in the rain.
It was Wonderful!
