  On the east coast of Canada, one of our favourite things to eat is ice cream. Thankfully, there is no shortage of vendors to choose from. These are a few of the places that we visited near the waterfront in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

  Cows ice cream was founded in Prince Edward Island in 1983. They have since expanded to other provinces and there is a Cows located on the waterfront in Halifax. There are many flavours to choose from and you can get a good, simple cone or cup.

  They also have lots of cow merchandise such as t-shirts and parody postcards.

If you want something a little crazier, then you want to visit The Fog Company. Each ice cream comes with a fog of cotton candy. The Gimme Smore (above) has chocolate ice cream covered in fudge and marshmallow. The huge cotton candy fog hangs off of the cone. These creations require some skill to eat without dropping any ingredients.

  Our favourite was Seas The Day which comes in a cone covered in fog. It is vanilla ice cream with a mermaid's tail and an edible paper whale sticking out of it.

  Fog and whales reminds us of the whale watching we did from Brier Island. It was about a 3 to 4 hour drive from Halifax. We feared we may not see anything due to the thick fog. It cleared up just in time for us to catch a few whales, along with this grey seal (above) before our tour was finished. Back at the Brier Island Whale Watching restaurant we got huge cups of ice cream that really hit the spot.

   Back on the waterfront in Halifax we visited a dessert spot called Creme. They had lots of fancy treats.

  This time we had a strawberry mousse that looked like a strawberry.

   Since ice cream does not travel well, we bought some souvenir chocolate from Peace By Chocolate with some very Canadian wrappers. Peace By Chocolate is also located on the waterfront.

  There is a list of some places to enjoy ice cream or other sweets while in Halifax. Up near the Halifax Public Gardens you will find Dairy Bar. They usually had a lineup so we didn't get a chance to try it during our visits. The only thing that stops us from having more ice cream is time.
