Our tour today isn’t until after noon. So we went to the Horizon Court for a late
breakfast. We were on the side of the
ship opposite the dock and had a good view of much of the town of Halifax.

Our tour for the day was a drive to Peggy’s Cove. The drive to Peggy’s Cove was about an
hour. We spent an hour an there and then
drove back, making a large circle.
Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia and the largest city in the
maritime provinces.

Peggy’s cove is a
scenic area formed by glacial action.
Besides the wild and rocky shoreline Peggy’s Cove features a lighthouse. Peggy’s cove is a small fishing village with
a permanent population of 38. It is the
most popular tour in Halifax. With 4
cruise ships in port today the population is almost doubled by the arrival of
each tour bus.

Before the tour started I had gone out before Gerri and Neva
and found a nearby cache. This was my
first cache in Nova Scotia. I have now
done caches in 6 of Canada’s 10 provinces and 1 of its 3 territories.
Back at the ship, I took the computer to the Internet café
to complete our computer chores. Gerri
went with me and Neva went to appointment with the ship’s doctor. The doctor extended the antibiotics for her
and is to continue daily visits to cleanse and evaluate her wound since she is
very slow to heal.
At 7:15 Gerri and I went to see a comedian, Tom Briscoe,
appearing in the Princess Theater. After
the show we met Neva in the Palm dining room.
After diner we went back to our cabin and we were in for the
night.
