Sydney

Sydney had the best weather yesterday. Hopefully it continues. We had great smoothies and coffee at The Bean Bank Cafe. One of the best dark chocolate mochas I've had. Can't wait to go back and try some healthy things. Ship food is nice, but this is healthier...and the wifi is legit!


PEI Tour

Prince Edward Island is stunning. It reminds me of Amish Country. I took a tour of the Green Gables house that Lucy Maud Montgomery based her Anne of Green Gables story upon. I think I read the books when I was younger, but now I want to revisit them. We also visited the Prince Edward Island Preserve Co. for lunch, where I sat with passengers from my hometown. They even went to my school. It's such a small world. I picked apart a lobster for the first time (usually my dad does it). I always seem to get the perfect tours for me; food and gorgeous scenery.

Halifax

I have been completely obsessed with the Titanic since I was in 2nd grade. Not only does the movie interest me, but also the tragic history surrounding it (twisted I know). I have always said I wanted to go down in a submarine to see the remains, but a trip to the cemetery in which 121 people from Titanic were buried will have to be good enough. At the Fairview Lawn Cemetery, poor and unidentified people from the wreck were laid to rest in 3 rows of graves that create the shape of the bow of the ship. These people are in Canada, because the branch office of White Star was in Halifax. Only the wealthy were sent home.
 
 
 

Peggy's Cove

The most photographed lighthouse in Canada.
