Our last full day in Toronto today, can’t believe it’s gone so fast! First thing is St Lawrence market,a leader covered farmers market with a huge selection of meat, fish, cheese, olives, bread etc. Really good choice and loads of lovely looking food; Li wanted to be self catering so we could buy a bucket load, but other than a bacon roll we had to leave it all there
Not sure if to try the Canadian exhibition or to look around Toronto a bit more we headed back too the hotel to swap some bits around, grab the CN Tower tickets and ask at the same time. Turns out we missed the distillery district out of the areas we’d been looking at, which although sounds great is no longer a distillery so we hadn’t been that silly!
First on the list though was the CN Tower, so a quick walk down towards the Rodgers Center once more and we head into the CN Tower with its glass floored and walled elevators, taking us quickly up to the main restaurant and viewing station. We spend a little time taking in the sights then head up to the highest viewing point I the Skypod. From here we have amazing views, particularly of the Rodgers Center with a baseball game going on which was great for some photos.
Leaving the CN Tower we had a good 15 minutes hike and we arrived to find the old distillery was now fancy art shops, coffee places, arts & crafts, etc. All very nice and a lovely area with cobbled streets and the old factory buildings. Even a few weddings were taking place!. Order of the day was some food and we found a lovely outside area that did oysters amongst other bits and more importantly beer. All very pleasant!
Rebecca and I had a good experience with the local fire station whilst waiting for Li in that they let her look around and sit in one of their massive fire trucks; really nice chap and even had stickers and a colouring book to give her, how nice is that.
Our evening plans were to see China town, which to be honest was slightly disappointing. Not a dragon, fancy street sign or lantern in sight, just a lot of restaurants, supermarkets and herbal medicine places. Still dinner was a massive, and cheap, pile of sushi that Li thinks was one of the best she’s had. Rebecca was happy with the large bowl of soya beans.
A good, packed day, shattered and wanting bed!
