So, we decided at pretty much the last minute to do a shore excursion today. We booked it on Saturday afternoon, as my partner pointed out with no plans on any day we'd drive each other crazy. There weren't a ton of options, so we settled on a morning excursion to Peggy's Cove. Here is the full description:

This seems far too soon ....
-
Just got back from a long day in port - I do like Halifax quite a bit.
-
We only waiting about half an hour - luckily, this is a short excursion and they promised they'd make up the time, so all should be well.
-
We have now boarded a new bus ....
-
Other folks are not taking it well ... Then again, they also weren't the volume of the guide's narration well before we stalled out, so there is that. I think the volume is almost painful loud, but maybe that's just me.
-
A rescue coach has been sent .... My partner and I are finding this really quite amusing (because, honestly, what else can we do).
-
Currently, we are on our way on a shore excursion to Peggy's Cove. Except our bus is stalled. In the middle of a rotary (roundabout) ....

No, not yet. I love crepes, so I went for that.

Almost along side in Halifax:

Lido breakfast - it's very quiet up here:

Getting closer the Halifax:

Good morning from Canada! Balcony pictures: Ship location (more or less):

We got 24 points, and the winning team got 25. Cliff was running it.
-
There is a lot of vibration aft on this ship ...
-
Dinner was good - nothing really stood out as a must have, but I enjoyed what I ordered. Artichoke and carrot soup: Sole: Creme brulee (this was fantastic):

Current mood - trivia ...

I went to the Q&A about Halifax - it was beyond standing room only. I appreciated it as a quick overview, but I was a bit surprised that there was no mention of shore excursions or anything outside of the seaport area.
-
This is maybe an hour and half outside of Bar Harbor - heading at 19 knots towards Halifax.
-
Okay ... Why doesn't every ship have a taco bar ... That was fantastic (and like all Tex-Mex, does not look half as good as it tastes) ....
-
And then we tendered back - it was a very short wait for a tender to arrive. Also, there is a large, cleanish restroom facility right at the tender dock.
-
We got ice cream and Jordan Pond Ice Cream and Fudge on Main St. The mocha Oreo was really good, and the portions (and prices) are large. Very, very randomly, I ran into one of my coworkers and her kids that were in Bar Harbor for the weekend.

We then picked up this little fellow:

We did a big loop, including walking down to where the sandbar is that you can walk across at low tide (which, of course, it wasn't):
