Honeymoon- Last Day at Sea

The last day of our cruise we sailed home.

We surrounded by open sea all day!

We tried a unique white cake.

It was very yummi!

In the afternoon there was a chocolate buffet! They even had chocolate sushi!!

(yuk!)

This was an ice-cream swan

Later on we sat up on the top deck and enjoyed some sun. There was no one else on that deck! 

We did devotions together, it was so nice!

Later on Justin wanted to try sushi...with me. 

I was brave but I just couldn't eat it!!

We headed out on deck at evening to see the sunset

I love my man!!

We actually did watch the sunset...eventually! :)

It was so beautiful

Right after the sun set....

The night and day meet.

We had our last supper in the fine dining

It was very good!!

We found a walrus that night!!

The next day we came home.

The cruise was wonderful and our honeymoon was perfect!!

God bless,

Day Four at Halifax

On the fourth day of our honeymoon our ship made post in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Halifax is so beautiful!!

We passed this church on the way to our walk-through-history tour, the story goes that this church was built in one day. Neat!

We started our tour at the Public Gardens of Halifax.

The public gardens are a very beautiful place.

A beautiful fountain at the gardens.

The grand bandstand at the Gardens.

The Scroll beds.

The Serpentine beds

Griffin's pond.

Well, this seagull found a very fancy perch!

An old clock built by one of the English kings.

A blue nose schooner weather vane

War memorial.

This church was built in 1749!

The worst pre-atomic bomb explosion happened in Halifax in 1917 when a ship exploded. Much of Halifax was destroyed and many people died. This piece of debris flew into the wall of the church during the explosion.

Pipe organ in the church.

We visited a museum with some Titanic exhibits.

A deck chair from the Titanic.

Shoes from the "unknown child"

There were many huge model ships on display at the museum.

There was also an exhibit on the Halifax explosion. 

Interesting story- Boston was the first to send help and aid to Halifax. As thanks Halifax provides and pays for the Boston Commons Christmas Tree every year.

Does anyone remember the "Theodore the Tugboat" children's show???

I used to love watching that show when I was little.   :)

The original boat model from the show was on display a the museum.

A lighthouse lantern on display

Boats!

Memorial of the Acadian Expulsion

Island connected to the history of the Acadian Expulsion.

Our ship at port.

Halifax was a beautiful city, and I really enjoyed our time there!

All too soon we had to get back on the ship...

We were welcomed back by a little elephant!

God bless,

Day Three at St John

On day three of our honeymoon our ship made port in St John, New Brunswick!

You can always tell you are in Canada when you see a maple leaf on McD's signs!

You can get a "McLobster" there! (we did not)

One of the many beautiful old homes in St John's

St John river.

Now, where the St John's river meets the Bay of Fundy an interesting phenomenon known as the "Reversing Falls"

The beautiful view of the bay as the whirlpools start. 

It would take far too long to go into why the reversing falls are so unique, if you want to learn more look them up online! (after you finish the post of course!!)

Where the bay meets the river.

There are about 327 stairs you have to walk down to reach the bay. It's fine going down.... its the going up that isn't!

Well, I must say we got alot of exercise that day!

A very unique way of photographing this area! This web was huge!

The neat thing about the whirlpools is that they turn clockwise and counter-clockwise.

Technically this is "impossible" 

:) Our first kiss was okay....

 but this one was far better!!

We rode on "the Big Pink Bus" tour. These are antique buses from London! 

They rattled and groaned quite a bit!

We visited a Jewish Museum

This little infant's dress is 112 years old

Checking the map!

Our front row view from inside the bus.

The Labor monument.

Our ship is to the left, another cruise made port that day too. "Enchantment of the Seas"

is on the right.

Hey look its us!

This was the only moose we ever got to see. :(

Our ship!!!

(notice all the fog? keep it in mind this fog it will cause problems later for cruise, made the trip interesting!!)

Living statue man.

Just plain weird!!!

I wasn't entirely enthusiastic but Justin's said 

"It will be fun!!!!"

We made one last stop at the falls before we had to be back on the ship.

The highest tides in the world are along this Bay

 

I like this photo of us alot!

 

We hoped onto the bus one last time to head back to the ship. This is the upper deck. It was a very INTERESTING ride up here with all the noise and creaking of this bus. I held on for dear life. 

Good news is these buses sound old but they were built well.

Back on board looking over at St John once last time.

St John behind us

We  spotted where the buses were kept! 

(hard to miss big pink buses anyways)

St John River meeting the Atlantic.

We really enjoyed our day.

I had salmon

mango creme soup

We found a frog that night!!
