On the Halifax Boardwalk again
Sea Smoke Restaurant
On the boardwalk we stopped at the Sea Smoke restaurant for a late lunch.
The weather continued to be kind and we sat outside. The restaurant was busy with both locals and tourists, but just like our earlier visit, everyone there was so friendly. We both had the excellent fish and chips.

We called at the piazza and caught the last parts of the house band’s set.
We had another towel sculpture on our bed. The ship’s clocks went back by one hour overnight and
