Halifax, Nova Scotia

[Sir William]

The closest I'm going to get to Scotland for awhile ... And apart from the Stone Mountain, GA games ... Will be New Scotland (some calls it Nova Scotia). Halifax is the last port of call for an upcoming New England/Canada cruise.

Does anyone have any must see shops in town that I should have a look in on? I expect most of the shops are of the tourist trap variety, so I'm on the lookout for anything special that I should be aware of in town that I'd be sorry to have missed.

Cheers

I'll also be visiting Halifax on an upcoming cruise. 5 October, to be exact.

I wonder if we're on the same boat? We're on Royal Caribbean, porting in Halifax in the 5th.

Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove are worth seeing as is the Maritime Museum in Halifax.

Lots of great bars in Halifax, many of them with live music.

I plan to visit the Old Triangle, which was recommended to me while I was in Dublin last year.

It's a relatively short port of call for us. We did book a 7-hour excursion that will be quite the tour of Halifax. So if our paths don't cross in Halifax, they may in St. John's on the 4th.

I'll be on the lookout for you at St John. We are going to stroll around town. At Halifax we have an excursion in the morning, then I'm going up to the Citadel in the afternoon.

One might think there maybe an opportunity to score something unique kilt wise in Halifax, New Scottland but not very likely. The good hadmade goods are all in Cape Breton there is some very fine tailoring on the island.

That was as I had expected, Halifax being more of a tourist trap sort of port. Thanks for the heads-up all the same.

We're on Disney, but I'll be kilted so perhaps well spot each other.
