After a relaxing day at sea, our first stop brought us to Halifax, Nova Scotia.  Since we’ve visited before we skipped the ship’s excursion and wandered through town on our own. 

We checked out the local grocery store, a popular stop for many of the ship’s crew stocking up on favorite snacks; there, we found  ketchup chips—an oddly fun snack introduced to us by our Canadian friend Janice!

And not that we needed an extra meal but we enjoyed lunch at Pho Maniac (Tina’s top recommendation) and soaking in the charm of the waterfront while taking photos along the way 

With bellies full and hearts light, we returned to the ship feeling refreshed and ready for our next stop, Sydney, Nova Scotia—where new streets, fresh stories, and perhaps a few more unexpected delights await.
