Hop on Hop off tours of Toronto

We had a later start and after coffee headed down to the coast of Lake Ontario to buy the Hop on Hop off tickets. First we took the boat tour around the harbour and some of the 14 islands.

We sat up the top as the guide told us about Toronto’s waterfront and islands.

The few people who live there are not allows to have cars. They walk or use bikes and use a ferry to get to the mainland.

Next we got on the bus and stayed on for a long time. There are a couple of tram routes through the city.

Some of the bridges were very low. This fire engine was attending an acident.



We got out at the Royal Ontario Museum.

I loved the pair of camels. They were grave goods from one of the early Chinese dynasties.

There was quite a large Chinese display.

Probably the closest we will get to this American iconic wild life.



We looked lots of amazing crystals and minerals.







We hoped back on the bus to head to the St Lawrence Market an indoor market with 50 specialty sellers. We bought some fruit, vegetables, goat cheese and bread. Walking back to our hotel we passed this dog park. All these dogs are standing fascinated by the gold bone in the centre of the fountain.

There is one cat not looking at all interested in all the dogs.

This cat also has its back to the fountain of dogs.
