Last garden breakfast in Toronto...







Out to pick up the car - spotted one of the kittens in the neighbour's garden...



Last use...


...of the extremely economical Weekly Pass...


The Cloudland Blue Mobile (Canadian Division)...


On to the Gardiner Expressway...





...which becomes the Queen Elizabeth Way...


...and which took us all the way round to St Catherine's in around 2 hours...


Lunch at Tim Horton's...


Absolutely boiling outside!

Took refuge in this flea market, despite the Exec Producer's protestations...


I do like a flea market...


Last time in Canada I picked up a Sarah Harmer album in Banff - this time I'd acquired another for a couple of your Canadian dollars...


...along with the debut release by Tragically Hip - both these artists are virtually unknown in the UK...


New soundtrack as we headed for Niagara on the Lake, staying off the soul destroying highway this time...




Three hours and twenty minutes (including the stop) and we arrived...


...at this beautiful boutique BnB...



Bags dropped and out for a walk...

A lovely little town...






...with a popular beach on the opposite side of Lake Ontario from Toronto...








Mr CBQ was on tour...





Now that would be a house to have...


They're still building...




After our explorations, at the request of the EP, we drove to an outlet park...




Some stuff was bought - including something by me that was not music related...


Maybe someday soon it'll fit me properly...

The room - before...


...and after...


We never actually got round to enjoying the garden...




Dinner at the Sand Trap...




Mexican and Italian in a Canadian sports bar...



Meanwhile, the Rheos were playing their last night at the AGO, followed by an impromptu set at The Monarch...

Not to worry...

Tomorrow to Niagara Falls...

Highlight of the Day : Niagara on the Lake...
