More . . . . The Almost Free Family Fun in Halifax, Nova Scotia

WOW !! Thursday September 4th was a sunny day - warm and at times was even somewhat " hot " .

I, ( Blue Diamond Tours ) hosted the Webber family ( New Jersey residents ) from the Enchantment of the Seas cruise ship. This was the ship's first visit to Nova Scotia.

The Webbers and I met ( Pier 20 ) in the Cruise Pavillion lobby ( what a "zoo" ) and walked a short distance to our vehicle and immediately headed out to the Lunenburg area of Nova Scotia.
Our first stop was Mahone Bay ( famous for its THREE CHURCHES ) many photos were taken of both the churches and the harbour still filled with sail and motor boats at their moorings. I might add Mahone Bay is also noted fot its free and clean public washrooms.

On to Lunenburg itself - that is a world heritage site via United Nations , the fishing capital of the world, ( self proclaimed and rightly so ! ) home port of both sailing schooners BLUENOSE ( 1 & II ) and the home of the unique residential architectual feature the Lunenburg "Bump"!! We toured the town, the Lunenburg Academy - St John's Church ( world famous for it being almost completely destroyed by fire on Halloween 2001 - and has been fully restored - in way by the world community ). Finally, a "walk-around " of the downtown harbour-front completed our stop. Again, Lunenburg too does have an ultra-clean free public washroom.

With any tour, and too with our The Almost Free Family Fun in Halifax, Nova ScotiaDIY Cruise Ship Excursion ----- free, clean and handy public washrooms are important to our guests!!
It was to Chester for a drive thro-tour ( the old fishing port ((1700's)) current - summer resort area for Halifax and one time summer home resort playground for/to weathly families from Boston, New York, Philidelphia and Baltimore . . .

We toured Route 3 along Saint Margaret's Bay ( and Route 333 ) to Peggy's Cove ( and yes they did view the old swimming hole (( for the snap-shots see Blue Diamond's web-site Travelogues -- Peggy's Cove --- June 26 ---- http://www.bluediamondtours.com/ )). Time was spent around the Peggy's Lighthouse too ( not to certain whether they took advantage of the Million Dollar investment opportunity -- your investment is less than $ 3.00 -- that is correct - less than $ 3.00 in total -- need to know more ? -- e-mail at Bobbluediamond@AOL.com . .

It was time to return to olde Halifax - the Citadel, Public Gardens, Grand Parade, Sackville Landing, Province House, the ferry dock and . . . . . more !!

The Webber's chose to walk back to their ship Enchantment of the Seas using the Harbour Walk which is prominately featured in our The Almost Free Family Fun in Halifax, Nova Scotia DIY Cruise Ship Excursion.

This outing lasted 6.5 hours -- and is another successful Halifax Nova Scotia Shore Excursion conducted by Blue Diamond Tours!!!
