Halifax / Nova Scotia

Finally we have booked our late silver wedding anniversary trip (was 2007) and we will be spending two weeks in Halifax / Nova Scotia from mid June.

One thing I promised three years ago the trip may not contain more than one of boating

Have looked at various websites what to do, but we are open for suggestions by locals.

I'm not exactly local, but I'd say go deep sea fishing over whale watching any day.

As originally stated I am allowed one day boating, my wife will not go on a boat not even 9 or 10 metre RIB, we have received quotation to stay at Bayside Inn in Digby which we are seriously considering.

Thanks for the suggestion Tom.
