			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-209" title="Cyclists-at-Cape-Blomidon" src="http://www.catferry.com/travel-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Cyclists-at-Cape-Blomidon.jpg" alt="Cyclists-at-Cape-Blomidon" width="545" height="277" />Without a doubt, Annapolis Valley is the agricultural wonderland of Nova Scotia. It’s also been described as the “bread basket” of the province. Taking into consideration lands full of local fresh produce, vineyards and orchards, it’s easy to understand this reference. In some ways, the Valley is the opposite of Halifax, where the city offers a fast paced sort of vacation. Escape for a day to the Annapolis Valley and become reacquainted with the simpler things in life; apple picking, strolling through acres of lush vineyards, take a breath of fresh air. You’ll also need a great set of lungs because this place will leave you absolutely breathless.<span id="more-41"></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-158" title="Bluenose In Halifax Harbour" src="http://www.catferry.com/travel-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bluenose.jpg" alt="Bluenose In Halifax Harbour" width="539" height="256" /></p>
<p>While the city of Halifax is settled in the heart of Canada’s ocean playground, there are plenty of things to do without getting your pinky toe wet. Laugh until the cows come home during a show at the Halifax Comedy Fest or watch a full line-up of piping muscle during the ancient Scottish heavyweight events at the Halifax Highland Games and Scottish Festival. Still looking for more land-lubber action? Glance through our Top 10 list of things to see and do. You&#8217;ll be glad you did.</p>
<p><span id="more-90"></span></p>
<h2>Alexander Keith’s Brewery Tours</h2>
<p>You may not get your hands on the secret recipe, but you’ll be able to impress your buddies back home with your newfound knowledge on the brewing process. Of course, samples of Keith’s are available. Cheers!</p>
<h2>Halifax Citadel National Historic Site</h2>
<p>A trip to Halifax’s Citadel lets your imagination run amuck while completely surrounded with historic artifacts and kilt-bearing individuals topped with bearskin hats play the pipes.</p>
<h2>Halifax Public Gardens</h2>
<p>For your sake, take the time to appreciate this fine example of the blossoming colors of nature at its best and take a deep breath. Feel better? Now onto more thrill seeking Halifax adventure!</p>
<h2>McNabs and Lawlor Island Provincial Park</h2>
<p>Discover the outdoor enthusiast in you with 400 acres of woodland at your disposal. Create your own Crusoe adventure but make sure you catch the Ferry boat to get back to the urban jungle.</p>
<h2>Pier 21 National Historic Site</h2>
<p>You may not know somebody personally, but wouldn’t it be neat to discover an old family name within the books of immigrants? Pier 21 takes you through an emotional rollercoaster as you explore the stories of immigrants. Word of caution, a Kleenex or two might be needed.</p>
<h2>St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica</h2>
<p>Regardless what you’ve been taught, it’s ok to stare. When you come within steps of the St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica, you just can’t help but to look up, up.. and up!</p>
<h2>Maritime Museum of the Atlantic</h2>
<p>Did anybody mention the Titanic? Yes, indeed, Halifax was the final resting place for the notorious Titanic disaster. So how about giving Leonardo DiCaprio a rest and seeing real 20+ artifacts and photographs down at the Maritime Museum’s exhibit? Feel free to hum the Titanic theme song for the full effect.</p>
<h2>Art Gallery of Nova Scotia</h2>
<p>Calling all art buffs! Soak up the cultural influences at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. The AGNS has been working on bringing out some old faves from the Nova Scotia Museum of Fine Arts out of the vault and showcasing in several exhibitions.</p>
<h2>The Halifax Harbour &amp; Waterfront</h2>
<p>Boats, boats and more boats. Take a whale watching tour. Discover the delicious culinary wonders of a Beavertail. Simply enjoy being close to the east coast waters. Did we forget to mention there are a lot of boats?</p>
<h2>Fairview Cemetery</h2>
<p>Yes, that’s right. We want you to squeeze in some time, during your weekend trip to Halifax to journey through a bunch of headstones. But here’s the catch, the Fairview Cemetery is the Final resting place of the 121 victims of the Titanic. Interesting, no? You might even find Mr. Jack Dawson.</p>
