Halifax to Wolfville

I'm Another foggy start in Halifax - the Dartmouth Ferry


A nice duplex near the Halifax waterfront


Picked up the rental car, checked out of the Waverley Inn and set off for Wolfville


Fair trade coffee shop along the route


Wolfville - checked into the Stella Rose B and B and headed off to lunch at the Rolled Oat


Mare had a Brown Rice and Veggie Bowl


Sue had The special


Great salad


Then off to look at the tide - low tide at Wolfville




Then we went to a local vineyard - looked around didn't buy



On the way back we went to Evangeline Beach - amazing tide - the mud flats - low tide




Then the tide began coming in





Back to Wolfville to see tide coming in - just beginning


We came back a couple of hours later




The once beached boat


About 42 feet difference between high and low tide - awesome to see


Our room has a wine refrigerator so we had to make use of it

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Left for the airport at 5:00 AM to catch our 7:00 AM flight to New York's JFK.  Our connecting flight left at 11:40 AM and we arrived in Halifax at 2:30 PM.  Both flights on time!

Waiting for the bus to take us to downtown Halifax





Waiting for bus 320


It was an hour ride from the airport to our hotel - bus fare was $5.50 Canadian vs. $40-$60 Canadian via taxi.

Our hotel - the Waverley Inn 



Checked in and before we went to our room, we had coffee and tea in the lobby


We have a tiny room, very clean


Walked to Henry's House for dinner, just up the street

Mare had Shepard's Pie 


I had haddock with vegetables and rice


After dinner we walked down to the harbor



Stopped to watched a huge cruise ship leaving port


And then it was gone - foggy out there


We'll finish the harbor walk tomorrow.  Don't think we will be taking the harbor cruise -
