Econo Lodge & Suites Halifax

Due to work commitments we end the cruise early. It would have been nice to have ventured into the state of Maine and seen Boston but duty calls. We learn that the horrid problem with the city sewer systems won't be fixed for another 6 months. Pier 21 looks so familiar from our trip here 2 years ago. The ...

... britische Uhrwerk nach Halifax gebracht.<br><br>Der Hafen von Halifax ist besonders schön! Dort gibt es viele alte Gebäude zu besichtigen. Dort steht auch das Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Im Museum kann man viele Schiffmodelle besichtigen, es gibt interessante Informationen über die Schifffahrt und den Schiffbau der Atlantikprovinzen. Auch eine Sonderausstellung über die Explosion von Halifax und ...

... related maladies that impede locomotion. These woes were to seriously affect our abilities to fully enjoy several of the destinations on our itinerary, and Halifax was an introduction to this new fact of life. We found a partial solution to this issue in Halifax in the form of FRED who is a little green bus that, thanks to the merchants of the town, provides free transportation to key tourist areas. FRED stands for "Free Rides Everywhere for Dopes. We put this on our ...

... the "Vomit Rocket" &#8211; how appropriate. After our arrival in about 3 ½ hours, we arrived at Yarmouth with a 3.5 hour drive to Halifax.<br> The roads were fine. We stopped at Lunenberg, a small historical town about the half way point to our destination. We had dinner at the Grand Banker Pub, overlooking the bay, which had quite an array of seafood.<br> The fog from the sea was engulfing the area ...

... performance/tour. <br><br>We had so much fun at the Pogue Fado Beer Gardens the day before so we decided to park ourselves there until the rain let up. Chad &amp; Jackie joined us for awhile and then headed to the airport to pick up Jackie's dad - Greg.<br><br>Later they met us at an Irish Pub called the Old Triangle - extremely good food, nice prices and great atmosphere - we'd recommend ...

... easy to get about. Barrington street is the main area. <br><br>There are some lovely quaint shops in the downtown area and a lovely farmers market which we went to on the Sunday for a fab local breakfast of eggs, bacon and potatoes. <br><br>Weather was not particulary amazing - it rains a huge amount in Halifax with the temperature quite moderate - I think in the mid 60's. <br><br>Great 5 days - would love to go back to see it.

... walk. This went all along their harbour front and included shops (not too touristy), bars, restaurants and a food market where you selected what you wanted, including live lobsters and then sit on the outside patio looking over the inlet between Halifax and Dartmouth. It was a relaxing set up. Monday we looked round the downtown area and went round the maritime museum, hence the Titanic exhibition. The Titanic went down 500 miles east of ...

Firstly sorry for the incorrect placement of the map pin, I'm doing this update from the hotel room on the wireless keyboard and the TV so I don't have a mouse with which to select a different spot on the map. We really are in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the line to this map point goes over it. Our last full day in London, the day after Dralion, we visited the famed British Museum. This place is a massive ornate building, similar to the Louvre in Paris, housing thousands of ...

Business class, that's where I'm sitting, by the window too! This will all be definately worth it if my bag's at Mirabel. Had 2 seats to myself for a short while but then some guy couldn't handle the smoking section (Wow, how long ago does THAT sound?!?) so he came, no prob. Lotsa room here, quieter too. Fairly secluded as well. <br>Had to fill out a declaration ...
