We departed Louisbourg yesterday afternoon and stopped at Antigonish for the night. This morning we drove several more hours to Halifax. Had a nice sunny day to tour, Halifax is a beautiful city on a harbor. It is certainly not a laid back place, the traffic in the harbor area is almost grid locked with driving tourists and commercial trucks, parking is a challenge. The town is geared to tourists with gift shops,souvenir shops, fast and slow food restaurants, hotels, etc. It is a major cruise boat stop which unloads thousands of folks to shop and tour each day. We went around the Halifax Citadel, a historic fort, but didn't go in, think we are forted out. We thought about spending 2 days here but one is enough and we move on tomorrow to more laid back places.
