Halifax day one

Short 50 mile trip to Halifax

Friday August 5 2016

Travel day again today, We left Lunenburg at 10 am this morning for our really short run of about 55 miles to Woodhaven RV Park of Halifax. It's located in Hammonds Plains which is about 25 miles from downtown Halifax but I guess campground marketing is like real Estate, location, location ,location.

Shortly after our arrival Millie went to the campground laundry room and cleaned up all our clothes. The tour company had a Jambalaya dinner planned for the afternoon. Millie and I decided to skip that and go out on a date. 

First thing we did was find a car wash, the jeep was filthy after towing it all the way from South Carolina. After driving a while and not running across one we stopped and asked some young men at a Jiffy Lube. One of them found a car wash location on his smart phone and we copied the address into Crocodee, (Crocodile Dundee) our Australian voiced Car GPS.

After giving the jeep a good scrubbing we got on a nearby freeway, not really lost, just not exactly sure which way to go, we soon found ourselves traveling in the direction of downtown Halifax. We thought, why not, we're almost there. Finding our way to the waterfront we parked the jeep and walked the docks. Lots of high end condo's and big office buildings directly across the street from the harbor, lots of people strolling on the docks and patronizing the many bars, restaurants and food stands. We saw about a half a dozen street performers, mostly musicians, but saw no homeless or panhandlers.

I wanted pizza and the only place we saw was a sidewalk carryout food vendor. We got large slices, each one was about ¼ of the pie and dined at a nearby table. We walked the length of the downtown harbor back to the jeep and used Crocodee to swiftly and efficiently guide us out of the city and back to the campground.
