Today I traveled from Prince Edward
Island to the province of Nova Scotia. There really isn't a whole lot
to say about the drive ... there was nothing particularly interesting
or remarkable about it.
My original plan was to spend some time
in the city of Halifax walking around and exploring. I had heard
about a place called Peggy's Cove, a seaside village about 20-30
miles outside of the city. It was supposed to have some art galleries
and that sort of thing ... it sounded like a “tourist trap”, but
I figured why not ... I had plenty of time. When I arrived at Peggy's
Cove, unfortunately, the whole area was shrouded in fog, so there
wasn't a whole lot to see. The village was exactly what you'd expect
from a small seaside fishing village, complete with lighthouse, small
shops, and little houses scattered about the rocks. I spent a little
time walking around, and then decided to head back to Halifax.
The only thing I knew about Halifax
before I arrived was that there was an old citadel overlooking the
bay. When I arrived, I found a place to park and started exploring.
The first thing to note about Halifax is that it's VERY hilly. I
walked around the citadel but I didn't bother to go in. Then I walked
down the hill to the bay. There was a “harbor walk” along the bay
with shops and vendors. There really isn't much else to say about the
city, at least from what I saw of it. After a while, it was starting
to get a little late, and I decided to head back to my car to drive
to my campground for the night, which was about 30 minutes outside
the city.
Unfortunately, traffic in Halifax is
really brutal, and it took my close to an hour to get to the
campground. When I arrived, it was time to do some laundry. After
that, I followed the usual process of setting up my tent, eating
dinner, and then I did some reading.
I planned to get on the road early
tomorrow morning for the long drive to Cape Breton National Park.
