Halifax, Nova Scotia
Cloudy skies and some fog was over Halifax, NS today.
Despite the weather we visited the Halifax Citadel, Halifax Harbour and the Public Gardens.
The Citadel is located on an imposing elevation overlooking the town of Halifax and harbour. Completed in 1856, it is the fourth in a series of forts since 1749 to occupy the hill.
Officially opened in 1867 the Halifax Public Gardens are an example of a formal Victorian public garden surviving intact and relatively unspoiled in the heart of a modern city. The gardens were designated as a National Historic Site in 1984.
Tomorrow we will be visiting Peggy's Cove.
