Zuiderdam MegaVoyage 2018-2019, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

We were off the ship first thing and our friends Gisela and Chaz were waiting for us. It was a great reunion as we had not seen Gisela and Chaz since the 2016 World Cruise. We had a special day touring Halifax, Mahone Bay, Lunenburg and Peggy’s Cove. Our first stop was the Halifax Citadel Fortress, the 215-year-old Town Clock and a with a view of the city...then we drove to Terrence Bay, the site of the 1873 White Star, SS Atlantic Disaster Memorial when 562 persons perished. Next we drove to Mahone Bay, a quaint seaside town with the three churches and then onto the town of Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home of the Blue Nose sailing schooner. From here we made our way back to Peggy’s Cove, with its iconic Lighthouse. Gisela and Chaz had us back to their home for a delicious lobster dinner...Chaz again puzzled us with his magic skills. We had a wonderful day with great friends in Nova Scotia. This is my last posting of this incredible and memorable journey and I would like to thank everyone who made it possible.  I really love the Zuiderdam, its Officers and Crew!
