well welcome to halifax nova scotia everyone we're here in the summer which is arguably
the best time to be in this beautiful city and we're home we're home it's been quite a few months
since we were here we've driven around we walked around a little bit so far and it's crazy how much
it's changed and developed even in the last little while so we're wondering is halifax
now canada's best city so for those of you that are new around here my name is anna trevor is
behind the camera we are the delightful travelers and yes we just said we are actually from halifax
but we spent quite a few months traveling we were in the dominican republic for like eight months we
popped over to vietnam for a little while and went to turks and caicos but now we are home in halifax
for the summer so that being said we won't just be in the city we will be exploring a whole bunch of
different spots in nova scotia we have some very exciting things coming up we can't wait to show
you guys yes we'll be going back to our tiny house as well but how amazing is it just to be out here
on a summer's day seeing all the people enjoying this amazing boardwalk in the city we love this
place it's so nice to see all these people out enjoying the weather even though there's not a
lot of people right in this spot yeah this is such a cool area they've done a really nice job
with the waterfront we'll walk a little bit of it today but it's areas like this that make halifax
so attractive to people from other places in case you didn't know a lot of people from around canada
moved here during the pandemic i think they continue to move here a lot of people are visiting
something we've noticed in the last couple of years is that when we're traveling we tell people
who are from nova scotia a lot more people know where it is than they used to it's funny because
anna and i always joke to ourselves that it's like all these people moving here just realized
nova scotia is on the ocean and obviously i'm being a little tongue-in-cheek here but there's
we met so many people from ontario so many in the last two years it's like everyone we meet
that that moved here is from ontario yeah so it is an amazing city and it's awesome that everyone
is just seems to be figuring this out now and i think it's attractions that's what really comes
to mind the last 20 years halifax has changed and in our opinion for the better so this
waterfront and the boardwalk specifically is one of our favorite in the entire world that's a bold
statement not that we've been everywhere but we have been to a lot of places and we often go to
water places that are on the water around the mediterranean or in asia or really everywhere
in the caribbean and this is honestly one of the best waterfronts like trevor just said it's uh
i think about four kilometers long something like that and they're just they seem to keep adding
really neat stuff every year yeah it keeps getting better and better there's places to
eat there's different like art installations and there's some new additions now we're going to show
you right now this is one of those additions we were talking about this is the queen's mark
and you can see these epic stairs that go right down into the halifax harbor honestly it's our
favorite thing on the whole entire boardwalk now but in typical halifax fashion there's a little
bit of controversy around these amazing stairs so we don't want to get too much into this but as we
film this was actually a sign saying no swimming is because recently there was a problem with like
the sewage treatment plant some sort of failure but it was just temporary i think it's better
getting early is getting better now and that side will probably be gone pretty soon that aside
there's been so many people complaining about these stairs and that people are swimming or like
just putting their feet in the water and how gross the water is and saying people are gonna die and
it's just a little bit ridiculous people swim all over the world we see people in amsterdam in paris
i'm sure that water is not very good i know that's just so so typical halifax people think but look
people are down there enjoying their time and i i don't i love seeing that i'm just looking at this
map here and this makes me realize just how long this boardwalk is even though we're from here we
know the boardwalk really really well it's still cool to see when it's kind of right in front of
your eyes but another cool thing that has been happening in the city is there's all these new
restaurants that are opening i mean some really really amazing restaurants and you know us we're
hungry and we're going to eat at one right now so we have come over to a place called cafe lunette
i think it just opened and it's our first time here halifax honestly has a really really great
food scene and it keeps getting even better it's something that definitely makes it one of the
best cities here in canada and i think that's only going to improve over the years as more and more
people move here and open up new places also for those of you that watch us regularly you probably
know how much we love brunch so it's great to see some places some new places with great
brunch menus which this place happens to have and of course we're starting off with our very
favorite a caesar i don't think we said but we're at a french restaurant and what i ordered here is
the omelet of the day i'm going to cut right into it in this little guy is some tomatoes
and arugula and it looks like there's also some feta cheese in there as well that looks good
look at this bite does this not look like pure perfection for brunch i'm so happy there's feta on
there i don't think it said on the menu but feta and eggs we all know how that works it's the best
this is my kind of omelette i know this place can cook omelettes better than i can that's for sure i
just love the salty feta cheese with the egg and on top there's also some chives so it's a bit of
a surprise the arugula we always say it's like the french fry of the green salad world we love
it it's a really good omelette overall and we got a little green salad on the side just to
kind of round things up so i have gone for the eggs benedict one of my favorite brunch
options this one came with uh it's called a jamon blah or like i guess white ham which i've never
seen before so it's gonna be interesting to try but let's get into the egg oh yeah
perfectly poached egg and this is on actually a potato [ __ ] rather than an
english muffin well let's give this guy a go as it falls off my fork
that's super delicious i love that it's on a potato roasting that's actually the first thing
you notice it's really really really crunchy whereas the ham itself is a little slightly
salty but just kind of falls apart in your mouth and hollandaise sauce is the best well that was
absolutely delicious but we thought we'd take you guys out and show you some more attractions here
around the city right now we're on argyle street yeah so halifax has some really really great
outdoor spaces something we think is really important when it comes to making a city feel
really fun and livable so as trevor said this is argyll street it's pedestrian only yeah and it's
also full of patios so there are some people out today but it's really hot it's in the 30s so i
think that's why some of the patios are kind of bare i just love walking around the streets here
especially when there's not too many people on them but i got a little fun fact for you about
downtown halifax specifically this is the fastest growing downtown
in all of canada we know that for sure because we've been working on a really fun project
over the summer here in halifax called fun facts and we're going to throw to it right
now to show you guys what we've been up to because there's a lot of clips and a lot of
little mini videos over there what you're about to see that you won't normally find in the vlogs
we're anna and trevor delightful travelers here with more fun facts in downtown halifax
today we're talking about something really exciting and maybe a little bit unexpected
peace so did you know that there are beehives here in downtown halifax we're actually on the roof of
scotia square where they've recently installed two beehives today we are back at the mix food court
and scotia square and we're going to try korea garden for the very first time the staff here
is super nice they are all smiles and the food smells out of this world now we are no stranger
to korean food at all usually we go for bitten bipimbap when we eat korean food because it's
one of our favorites but today they highly suggested we try this magical looking thing
that was just perfection it's like a little perfect piece of chicken coated in deliciousness
this is an absolute must if you're coming to the mixed food court here in scotia square
you have to try this trust us i've never had anything like this it's so so good also the
harbour here is quite deep and open year round and there are railways connecting halifax with
the rest of canada and the united states fun little fact for you a lot of people immigrated
through here to the united states what did you find over here oh all the latest tech so
actually can you imagine having to process a million people i guess but the typewriter
yeah speaking of typewriters look at this thing i don't know what it is about old typewriters
but i just find this absolutely fascinating to look at so this project is being presented by
scotia square if you want to see more if you want to learn more about halifax we're filming
all sorts of stuff quick little videos it's a lot of fun and you'll probably learn some
fun facts as well we'll put the link in the description below for the website so some of you
might recognize the space we're in right now we're actually back in our condo trying to get organized
right now things are a little bit of a mess you can see the desk here we have some items back here
we're trying to get organized and honestly like declutter a little bit because we'll eventually
be setting off again another adventure somewhere in the world so now's the time when we get back
to kind of get organized anna's over here in the living room i've got something to show you
i don't know if you can hear but we got something to show you so a package showed up for us and it's
a very special package because we've been waiting for this for a long time it's our silver creator
award from youtube it's for a hundred thousand subscribers this yeah it means the world to
us it's funny it's kind of mirror-like so you guys can't really see it but this wouldn't have
happened without all of you that you guys that's it in a nutshell thank you to each and every one
of you all hundred thousand well we're past that now i know we did a a live video of when we when
we got to a hundred thousand uh probably a month or so ago or a few months ago now but of course
we were away it did arrive while we were i think in dominican republic yeah vietnam or somewhere
anyway yeah we got it where did you put it that's a great question because we're usually traveling
but anyway it's just cool that youtube even does this and we don't you know make these
videos for the awards um and the next one i think is a million so
we'll probably never probably never get there but this is cool this is so cool and again
we just wanted to thank you guys i know some of you have been asking like where is
where is your award where is it did you get it yet we have and we're pretty happy about it we're
going to take you guys outside here and give you an update on the building across the street from
us because you might recall this was a lot smaller last time so since we've been talking about how
quickly or how fast halifax is growing development is obviously a big part of that we have this new
building going in across the street from us now people feel really bad for us because
we have this beautiful waterfront view and we knew when we bought our condo that we were going to
lose the view but i think there's going to be a really cool building it's called the canard
yeah but speaking of views we're not going to lose the view entirely like we're going to have
all that and then if i turn this way you're gonna have kind of you can see right there to
the sea there but i don't think they'll be able to see that on the camera we still love this
spot yeah it's the perfect spot we're directly downtown we couldn't be in a better location
uh like bishop's landing is just down the street from us so many great restaurants and
everything over there and then this new building i think they've already like booked a whole bunch
of places for it so it's gonna be pretty cool and of course well the boardwalk is just right
there literally right there so if any of you are curious about our condo and you're you're hoping
that we're going to do a tour we've done that in other videos so i'll link it on the screen
somewhere i think up here and you can check that out because we've certainly done that especially
when uh the pandemic was happening yeah we first moved in we also did a fair bit of nothing major
but it's added some few things did some minor changes and i think we did a big tour of the place
yeah our best to say a little tour it's not a very big condo yeah it's like 500 and some square feet
but we like small spaces and being organized and decluttered but we probably should give you guys
a little bit of an update on what to expect in this nova scotia series coming up huh yeah so
we're home for a couple of months it's not going to be like a super long series uh we'll probably
do i don't know what do you think like six videos or something probably about that something around
that number okay but yeah but coming up next something so exciting and it's very very big
it's like it's very very big and we're going to be on an island a private island a private island
it's very luxurious and i might as well just slightly spoil it at a multi-million dollar place
mansion that you can actually stay in so stay tuned that's gonna be the next video yeah i'll be
giving you a full tour of this amazing place that we're gonna stay at we just for the record we've
never done anything quite like this what you're about to see so that's exciting we'll be hanging
out there for a short period of time who knows we might have a couple videos we're not quite certain
on that yet but then for all of you wondering that have been following along about our tiny house
