Halifax Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Hey guys, it's me. As I told you in my last blog we departed from Halifax on Friday and the first few days have been very hectic but fun. On Friday I got on the ship about 10 a.m. after checking all my luggage in and went through several stations to make sure we are all up to date with everything. Then I headed straight for my room, which is 305...

Dalhousie University is the largest post-secondary educational institution in the Maritimes. And after visiting their GIS Centre, the largest GIS library facility in Eastern Canada, I'd add friendliest to their list of accolades. I knew they were a good bunch when their quick reply to my email query included a photo of their building and a map t...

After a suprisingly restful sleep on the Walmart parking lot (must have been the near-by train - I kid you not! - lulling us to sleep!) we were off to Citadel Hill National Historic Site.

We cut across country and headed to Mahone Bay, lots of little churches that dot the shore line with brightly painted houses. Very picturesque. Onto Lunenburg, which is a german fishing village. The weather was closing in and we wandered around taking all the old houses and shops, stopping to snap the old fishing ship that was in and having some...

At that point I split off from my friends and headed off for the rest of my trip. The trip I'd hoped to do from Halifax to Lunenburg and Mahone Bay wasn't happening for a couple of days so I decided to pass on that, spend a day walking around Halifax Citadel, old town, etc and then head up to Sydney a day early. A bit of a gray day but what a ne...
