Our Day Off Adventure

July 30 2010

This was probably the best day of the trip; most people would agree. It was our day off, where we slept in a bit … and some missed breakfast, but toast was good enough. We then got ready and set off for the Bay to see the Beluga whales in a boat called a zodiac. It didn’t take too long to get there, which was quite nice. Soon after, we arrived at the Prince of Wales Fort, which was rather fascinating. When the French invaded the Fort they did this stealthily as the English did not hear a word about the attack until it occurred.

There was a swarm of mosquitoes that invaded us as we approached the Fort, which was a terror. However, this changed as when we came back to the Zodiac and back onto the water we were surrounded by many many beautiful whales, where we have countless pictures.

We then visited Parks Canada Museum which was fantastic where we were approached by a French Guide and unfortunately Dan understood nothing of what he said. We also drove to the Eskimo Museum and found that really interesting and really informative. Towards the end of the day we went shopping great but there weren’t many shops and that was a shame as we still had time to spare. However, it was a fantastic day overall.
