Halifax

After crossing the confederation bridge we were back on the mainland heading to Halifax. Nova Scotias provincial capital is the largest city in the eastern provinces and has one of Canada's largest ports.

Halifax has a beautiful and lively waterfront filled with restaurants, pubs and little shops. The Scottish heritage is not only found in the name of the province, it is also present through the streets. To experience the local culture we spent an evening listening to old Keltic rock music and drinking locally brewed beer.

When Canadians picture Nova Scotia they often think of the red and white lighthouse and small fishing village called Peggy's Cove just outside Halifax. Despite all the tour buses that arrive here daily, there is still a genuine and authentic feel when walking through this beautiful village.
