Day 28: 7.08.09
We have now been on the road for four weeks! How time flies.
Today we were off to a slow start as we had to hang around the van park. Our site was double booked and we had to move to a new site. The only unfortunate thing about this was that we had to wait until the people occupying the new site packed up and left. Park management was quite apologetic and gave us the night free of charge! Once we finally arrived in Downtown Halifax, it was quite late in the morning and very hot so we headed off to COWS (the best ice cream in Canada) for an icy refreshment.
Next on our agenda was a visit to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Of particular interest to us here was the exhibit on the Halifax explosion of 1917 and the Titanic exhibit. We actually saw some relics salvaged from the doomed vessel. A museum pass granted us entry onto the Arcadie, a ship docked in Halifax Harbour. The views from her were fine and we enjoyed exploring what the ship had to offer. After lunch we wandered back to our car and made our way to the Halifax Shopping Centre so that Emily could indulge in some much needed retail therapy. (I’m next!) Back at Shubie, the boys went for a quick swim at the beach.
