We strolled back down to downtown Dartmouth this morning, after a refreshing but humid night’s sleep, and worked our way to Two If By Sea cafe, opposite two historical Quaker buildings (but still not as old as our house - crazy!), bought ourselves huge and disappointing pastries and drinks, and arrived at the ferry terminal to get the boat across the harbour to Halifax.
We explored the boardwalk hoping to find a tourist information place but with no success. Luckily we had Google maps instead! Really enjoyed the waterfront area - there was so much to see and do.
At the furthest south end of the board walk is the museum of immigration, celebrating the million plus people that arrived there during the 20th century.
Alana’s holiday money was already burning a hole in her pocket, so she splashed out on a handmade necklace from the farmers market.
Then we headed a couple of blocks back from the waterfront to see some of Halifax’s historical buildings, the original town cemetery (I know, people were dying to get in there… it’s the dead centre of town!), and on to the Citadel where we sat and ate our lunch looking at the tall buildings that completely block the view of the harbour.
Back to the ferry port, and then trudged tiredly back up from the harbour to our holiday home.
