A great day in Halifax! We already arrived the last evening and had the possibitity to stroll along the harbourfront and take part in the birthday-celebrations for Mr. Keith, a famous (and long passed away ...) brewer. Today most of our passengers enjoyed a very nice bus-excursion to Peggys Cove, a nice little fishing-village. The guides provided us with a lot of informations and the landscape we passed through was just beautyful with the autumn colours. As some other cruise-ships also visited Halifax the very same day - amongst them the "Explorer of the Seas" and the "Queen Mary 2" with thousands of passengers - it got a little bit crowded in Peggys Cove during the day.

Returning to the harbour most guests were quite happy to board the cosy little Fram instead of the Giants just next to her ...
