Maritime Holiday

I got pretty sick on this trip, ending up one night in Charlottetown Hospital with blood pressure of 215. A lot of memories of the trip have escaped me so I am thankful for my trusty camera which helps bring the memories back. Our first night in Halifax we rode the ferry across the harbour and toured the Citadel, a fortress that provided Halifax with great protection in times of war throughout the centuries






We had absolutely gorgeous weather. Too gorgeous in fact and some days the thermometer climbed to over 35 degrees above. The wedding day was highlighted by one of the most beautiful sunsets I have witnessed





The wedding of Mike and Christy was another highlight that we enjoyed along with Ed, Linda, Val and Becki.




























Hopewell Rock was another fascinating place. There the tide comes in and the water rises from 32 feet to 48 feet in just a matter of moments. There Louise, Tim, Karla, Jenn and I walked around for quite awhile enjoying nature at its best.



Very early in the year Louise had reserved tickets for the play Anne of Green Gables. So we travelled to Charlottetown to take in what was a very good play. We took the ferry one way and then came back via the Confederation Bridge after visiting the tourism site of Anne of Green Gables.


















One of the many little fishing villages and Jenn and Louise checking out the lobster traps and the fishing boats.

One of the enjoyable parts of our Maritime holiday was a trip to Peggy's Cove.
There we walked upon the rocks, watched the tide come in, checked out the lighthouse and some of the many fishing boats that were there.
