In port today. Plan on the “Hop on for Hops” tour, which allows us to do a limited pub crawl to sample local menus, beer and wines.

This picture was taken from our cabin looking out over the harbor.

Spectacular place to vacation!

We were in Halifax a week ago (at the end of a bus tour of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI). We really enjoyed Halifax and know you will to. Are you going down to Peggy's Cove?

We are back aboard ship. Didn’t have the chance to do Peggy’s Cove. Saw lots of the downtown Halifax, which is super! Too many places to mention. I could spend lots more time here, but the ship leaves at 7:00.

I still have the (totally) hand-made quilt with sailboats on it I bought in Peggy's Cove in 1974. I think we paid $30 for it, and it was a total splurge for us. Nova Scotia was gorgeous.

Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in St. John, New Brunswick, and turtle.

It’s hard shopping here, because there are many beautiful clothes, but mostly wool, fleece, or flannel. Not worth the money, as I’d only be able to wear MAYBE one week in TV!

And for those who miss the leaves changing colors.

Madelaine Amee 10-06-2018 06:23 PM

Yes, I do miss the leaves and I miss New England, but I do not miss the snow ................. It would seem that no where is quite perfect. Is it cold there?, if so please bring some back with you. :icon_wink:

Very nice, that trip is on our to do list. Can you take a ferry from Portland Main and bring your car (and golf clubs and bicycles) on the ship to explore when arriving?
