Day 4
Arrive in lovely
Halifax in the late afternoon and transfer to your hotel. Have some free
time and possibly visit the Titanic cemetery, sight of the massive First World
War explosion and other historic sights. The harbor here extends 26
kilometers (16 miles) inland. Take a double decker bus, visit art
galleries or Discovery Center. Can we recommend Atlantic lobster,
caught fresh nearby, for dinner this evening.
Day 5
A wonderful
sightseeing excursion today includes the National Citadel Hill, Point Pleasant Park, and
Bedford Basin. The afternoon is free to explore the city's harborfront and
shopping districts. |

Day 6
Your maritime
adventure ends with a transfer to Halifax airport or we can pre-arrange
additional nights accommodation to extend your stay. Those staying a
couple of extra days can visit historic Lunenburg (home of the infamous
Bluenose, for years undefeated champion of the North seas), Peggy's Cover and
the fishing village of Truro. Those with the time can visit the Bay of
Fundy to see the World's highest tides and possibly walk on the ocean floor at
low tide!
**
Extend your stay on VIA Rail's "Bras d'Or" train with service between
Halifax and Sydney (on Cape Breton Island). You'll travel in the company
of storytellers, musicians and kilt-clad guides, sampling local cuisine.
Watch the panoramic views from the domed Skyline Car. Overnight in Sydney
before re-boarding the train for the return trip to Halifax.
You can even
extend the tour for a full week! Call for prices.
