Next day was a day at sea and then we docked in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

We visited the maritime museum and there was a large display about the huge explosion that happened in Halifax Harbor during WWI. It destroyed most of the town and killed a lot of people. You can read more about it here:

This is a pic of pieces of the ship they found more than a mile away from the explosion...



There's also a bunch of stuff about the Titanic there, including the cemetery that we visited. The museum had one of the most impressive collection of ships models i have ever seen. This was the Titanic's sister ship...



It was cold by the time we got to Halifax. This is us at the harbor...

We did a tour of the town in a vintage British double decker bus and that was pretty fun and the tour guide guy was very informative.

Nice pic of a harbor lighthouse...



Pic of some of the rocky shoreline...



Once we leave Halifax it's 5 days at sea crossing the Atlantic. Most days we were running at about 20 knots. Which I felt was hauling ass for such a big ship.
