14 August Halifax Canada

Today's theme for us  was 'Lighthouses and Lobster' so the excursion took us back into the Atlantic on a boat that held about 180 people.  We circled around, saw 3 Lighthouses, all famous I gather (couldn't really hear the commentary) and a whale (Orca) and they took some Lobsters from the pots and we got to hold, touch, etc.  Then back to Murphy's Restaurant in the harbour where we were served a 1.25 lb lobster each with salads.  Those lobsters, of course, aren't like ours and have less meat I always think.  But they were delicious! 
Walked in a leisurely way back to the ship, past all the cute shops, farmers' market, brewery, monuments to the Titanic and rested for a bit.  It was 30C but not humid.  
At 6 pm there was a concert recital by the resident pianist who works with the show band.  His name is Pavlo Cherniavskyi, and he played Beethoven, Chopin and DeBussy.  Excellent!  Hidden talent aboard this ship for sure!  
Have just been to the show, alone, and while it was very good, I needed to be told the end was nigh!    Must have dozed off due to that French coffee I had at dinner - wow!  It nearly blew me off my feet!!!!  Thank God for an extra hour tonight LOL!!!!!
