Last and First - 230914/15

So came the day that was to be our last day staying in Toronto. Had a few errands to took some photos in the neighbourhood. Some doors had colourful wreaths although fake. Cool but expensive(CAD199) ebroidered cusions in a design shop, wallpaper and a poster at the framers. Cabbagetown really is a nice neighbourhood.
The next day we left the house around 11am, streetcar on Carlton towards the subway to get to Union station and get on first the GOtrain then the bus(changes in Burlington). Arrived in Niagara Falls, took a taxi to the house and settled in before we walked "downtown", now I'm talking the entertainment downtown. Clifton Hill is almost just around the corner.
We bought our Adventurepasses(includes all the touristythings but the boat) for the next few days. Then we decided to do the boat on the lake at once, and all I can say as this is my fifth time in Niagara Falls, second to do the boat thing that it's still as amazing as the first time nine years ago. The powers are unbeliveable. And it's not unusual at all to see the rainbow several times.
At the end of our day we went to Rainforest Café for dinner. A tad expensive compared to other places here(although they're not cheap either but if you're on vacation you're on vacation) but the food was really good.

Cherry Beach - 230911

Inspired by the song Cherry Beach by Paul Gross and David Keeley(Look for youtubelink in the end) we headed there this Monday, we did split up, some stayed on while others went into town again, a must visit to Indigo(WOW!!! I didn't buy anything) and then we picked some pastries for evening coffee up. I'll let the photos talk for themselves today.
