Being so close to the Canadian border made it convenient to
visit Toronto to see Alison’s Uncle and Aunt in Mississauga. So we drove the car for 6½ hours, via Port
Huron and Sarnia, into Canada over the connecting toll bridge. The hot tub in the evening proved relaxing
after the long drive.
29th Aug – Rattray Marsh
In the afternoon we took a stroll around Rattray Marsh on the shores of Lake Ontario. We could see the Toronto sky line and the CN Tower, in the distance.
30th Aug – Toronto
We drove through Toronto city and did some window shopping
in the afternoon. Our friends Mark and Mandy
from UK happened to be holidaying in Toronto with their friends this weekend
too. We
were kindly invited to join them
all for a BBQ in the evening which was great fun.
2nd Sep – Toronto Island
We took the GO Transit train into Toronto city centre and
then the ferry out to Toronto Island. Although
very commercialised the Island provides a lovely setting to wander around
relaxing in the sunshine. As this was
the Labor Day holiday the place was packed with families. We had a couple of ‘fly-past’ from aircraft
participating in the air show for the Canadian National Exhibition nearby. There were a couple of sandy beaches; one of
which was sign-posted ‘clothing optional’ – good thing it was a hot sunny day
for them.
The views across from the island towards Toronto were pretty good, even with a mad woman leaping up and down in front of the camera.
