Road trip No.1 - Day 3 - No new countries, No new States or Provinces BUT 1 new Hurricane glass (Toronto)

Day 3   - Niagara (ON) - Toronto (ON) - 80 miles:


Day 3 was spent on quick breakfast at IHOP and then a short drive through to Toronto. 
Checked in and some basic shopping, then off to collect this trip's 3rd Hurricane glass. 



The bartender was very helpful and gave advice for where to walk around and also Dinner suggestions, which was quite surprising. But perhaps she was clear we were not interested in eating at Hard Rick, but was merely collecting Hurricane glassed. Off we went to the street she recommended where we dropped a dinner table reservation into the mailbox of a nearby recommended Italian restaurant (as they were not open yet) and had a quick lunch at a pub.We were probably quite lucky as when we left the pub, there were some staff around at the Italian restaurant.


They were not open yet, but as we explained that we had dropped at reservation note in the mailbox, they invited us in to make a proper reservation. After arriving in the evening, wen they were full and turned away several people, I doubt they would have been happy with our little note.

Toronto as such was a pleasant town. Quite small (downtown) but a great place to move around. There were some kind of arts festival going on which was a bit strange, and cause a bit of noise during the night (especially for Åsa , who had some disturbance right outside her hotel door for a long time - which is not acceptable at a Sheraton - so we will complain!). Evening finished with drinks in the lobby as the sky bar closed at 11pm !!!
