HALIFAX , Nova Scotia Day 1

SEP 11 Tuesday

We returned to Peggy's Cove BUT no more photos of rocks, waves & red & white lighthouses!  In reviewing my videos I see I got carried away with those, eh?

 So after leaving Peggy's Cove the 2nd day we continued on into the SW part of Halifax & had a Chinese Buffet lunch.
 This buffet offered quite a bit of seafood: mussels, salmon, shrimps plus the regular Chinese fare. 

Lunch for Seniors $11.95 . That was a $2 discount from the regular price. 

It all adds up especially after their 15% tax is added & tips.

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, EVERYTHING in Canada is more expensive even before the high tax is added.

We were lucky to find an on-the-street parking spot  a few blocks from the
  "Alexander Keith Brewery" where we were going to take a tour we had read about.
 In our walk we saw these murals below. 
 ( oops. I stuck in  photo of the Chinese Buffet building)

Now on to the Brewery

Did you notice the price of the 24 Can Pack?

The "tour"  cost $34 CN for the two of us which we though was a lot for a brewery tour BUT it was WAY more than just a tour AND it was well worth it!
There were several of the period costumed-actor tour guides that not only explained the brewing process but they sang, danced, served us beer 
(no extra charge) & were VERY entertaining. 
They AND WE were all part of the show!
We had a great time for an hour or so.

Day 2 to follow on next blog entry.
