Well it seems I was not able to complete that particular adventure via BB. Plus it was fun filled and packed with good memories. Already I am planning the next adventure so I should get this last one up to date. We arrived in Halifax and took the shuttle bus into the city. I did not realize the airport was so far from the city. The cost of a taxi was quoted at about $50.00 and the shuttle bus $3.00 p.p. So you know which mode of transportation we took. Got settled, had some dinner and walked around getting orientated. Happy with the location as we can pretty well walk to anything we had planned. Friday morning took a walk along the waterfront of the bay. Visited the first buildings ever erected down near to the waterfront. Very encouraging to see that in the renovations that are occurring they are actually leaving up the fronts of the building such as they have been doing in Toronto. That night onto the Tattoo which is well worth attending. Acts from all over the world and the building filled to capacity. Interesting conversation with a couple with their grandson sitting beside us. Originally from Picton, Ontario and many years have been living in Halifax. He asked about our interest in the Tattoo and shared with us his history. Somewhere around our ages he has served in 3 different navies including a submarine. So nice to hear how the grandson is right into the history of his grandpa and knows all the memorabilia in the household.
