Our apartment was by Pier 21 on Barrington. It was a full two (large) bedroom with full kitchen and large living room - very spacious and conveniently located by the Nova Scotia Westin, of which we used their services more than once (computers, shuttle bus, luggage storage ...). Even though Richard scared me upon arrival to the apartment about the sewage problem they had, that apparently was a number of years ago, the problems were all solved and things were just fine for our stay!
The Roald Amundsen (he was an arctic explorer) was docked and lucky for us it was Ocean Day when Hilary & I passed it which meant we could tour the ship. They had a crew but did take on students on their sailings. The staff were very information and patient with our many questions. In fact the security guard at the gate said we were allowed on the ship much longer than anyone else that day ... perhaps they were trying to recruit us (?)
Late one afternoon, the fog rolled in and shrouded the water in white. Very east coast-ish.
Continuing our Halifax tour, we visited St Paul's Church which, as you can see above, did get stabbed by a piece of flying something or other during the Explosion of 1917. Don't know about the explosion ? Click Here. While in the church, we chatted with a church member whose last name was "Lord" ... a coincidence ??
And the last, but not least photo of our favourite pub, introduced to me by Richard and frequented many times since. The Henry House does have a plaque inside explaining who Henry is but I was always so hungry and thirsty (good beer!) I never did stop to read it.
