Docked in Halifax, Nova Scotia. A walk along the waterfront.

View of Halifax, er the backside of another ship, from the
Maasdam's forward camera.

Paul was up during the wee hours of the morning because of the fog.  Fortunately for him, the clocks went forward 1 hour so his 'on the watch' time was cut short by an hour.  Although he didn't get much sleep, he was up and awake when the Maasdam docked in Halifax.  

It was a beautiful sunny day and, to me, the sun was a wonderful warm and welcoming sight.  Paul managed to get some time off the ship for a bit so we meandered along the waterfront.  Our aim was to go to the maritime museum but there was so much alterations going on around the waterfront that we decided not to go in.  There were small arts and craft stalls, food stalls, buskers - from guitar to violin and a piper, and on one of the piers there were hammocks for people to stretch on and relax.  On our way back to the ship Paul and I stopped off and got an ice cream from one of the stalls.  Maple syrup and pecan nut (yummy!) was one of the ice creams that we tried as we sat in the sun and watched life go by.  There were arts and craft stalls in the cruise terminal which we had a browse around before boarding the ship.

Our day was marred a bit because I was not feeling myself - just feeling very 'flat'.  I was also very tired and wanted to sleep so when we got back to the Maasdam I had a nap for 2 hours or so.  

A bit later on, after dinner, we are going to listen to one of the singers in the Crow's Nest.  It is her last night as a performer before her contract ends.  I think it is going to be a nice evening and we are doing something different for a change.

Our route to Sydney, Nova Scotia.

The Maasdam has set sail for Sydney and hopefully we will be able to dock this time.  Last time the wind was too strong, and with no tugboats to help her, the Maasdam had to turn around and head back out to sea.  Things are looking a bit more promising this time although mother nature can have a change in plans at any moment.
