We picked up these cute fellows at Peggy's Cove from the pewter shop there:

I definitely fell asleep at 9:30 last night ... Let me try to catch up ....
-
We were in Pier 22, next to the Immigration Museum. We were in the pier with the little shopping area. So three back from the start of the boardwalk?

We had about 45 minutes at Peggy's Cove, which was plenty of time to see the light house, take some pictures, look in a couple of shops, and get back on the bus:

We spent about half an hour sitting on the side of the rotary, waiting for a new bus. Once it came, we were off again. It's about 45 minutes to Peggy's Cove. There was arguably an excessive amount of narration on the drive. Some terrible bus window pictures:

We had a 9:30 port call, and our meeting time was 9:15 ashore ... Which seemed like something wasn't quite correct. We got the all clear at maybe 9:20, and exited the ship, found our bus, and were off. Well .... Off as far as the rotary we broke down at ....

So, we decided at pretty much the last minute to do a shore excursion today. We booked it on Saturday afternoon, as my partner pointed out with no plans on any day we'd drive each other crazy. There weren't a ton of options, so we settled on a morning excursion to Peggy's Cove. Here is the full description:

This seems far too soon ....

Just got back from a long day in port - I do like Halifax quite a bit.
-
We only waiting about half an hour - luckily, this is a short excursion and they promised they'd make up the time, so all should be well.
-
We have now boarded a new bus ....
-
Other folks are not taking it well ... Then again, they also weren't the volume of the guide's narration well before we stalled out, so there is that. I think the volume is almost painful loud, but maybe that's just me.

A rescue coach has been sent .... My partner and I are finding this really quite amusing (because, honestly, what else can we do).
-
Currently, we are on our way on a shore excursion to Peggy's Cove. Except our bus is stalled. In the middle of a rotary (roundabout) ....

No, not yet. I love crepes, so I went for that.

Good morning from Canada! Balcony pictures: Ship location (more or less):

We got 24 points, and the winning team got 25. Cliff was running it.

There is a lot of vibration aft on this ship ...

Dinner was good - nothing really stood out as a must have, but I enjoyed what I ordered. Artichoke and carrot soup: Sole: Creme brulee (this was fantastic):

Current mood - trivia ...

I went to the Q&A about Halifax - it was beyond standing room only. I appreciated it as a quick overview, but I was a bit surprised that there was no mention of shore excursions or anything outside of the seaport area.
