We got started a little later today, having some leftover pizza by way of breakfast come lunch, before heading out a bit after 11. We decided to head for the old town in Toronto, with a plan to stop off at the St. Lawrence Market. As we walked into the old town district the first thing that became clear was that not many buildings looked particularly old, with lots of new looking glass strucures in place. The old bank of Montreal was particularly interesting as it has the old fascade but now forms the base of a large glass skyscraper. We had a walk through the St. Lawrence market but having already quite a big breakfast we weren't especially hungry for the variety of food on offer. Outide the market we walked over to the nearby post office, which was the first post office in Toronto dating back to 1834. There is a bit of a museum section which is free to visit on the inside, but it's also still a functioning post office so whilst we were there Dani bought Greg a birthday card and posted it! Having seen enough of the old town we were a bit short of a plan of what to do next, we settled on tea and a cake at Starbucks so we could use their WiFi to formulate a plan for the rest of the day. 

We had been toying with going up the CN tower for a view over Toronto, but given that the CN tower is one of the most iconic buildings in the skyline I wasn't especially sold on not getting it in any photos. After a bit of a browse of the Internet courtesy of Starbucks, we settled on a trip to Centre Island, one of the islands close to Toronto as it seemed to over a good view back of the Toronto skyline. The island is easy to get to with a number of water taxis available to take the trip or the main ferry which is just $10 each for a return ticket. The ferry only took 15 minutes or so, and from our position on the right side of the boat heading out, we had terrific views of the skyscrapers that make up the skyline. The main attraction on Centre island seems to be a childrens themepark which we weren't particularly interested in, we did however spot a bar with a baeer garden facing back towards the view... so that's where we headed. We ended up staying the rest of the afternoon having some drinks and then food with a perfect view back of Toronto. It was a great place to sit and watch the world go by with planes frequently taking off and landing in the nearby city airport and boats flitting about around the coastline. A weasel even popped by the beer garden at one point for a quick mosey about!  

It started to cool down around 8 and the ferries had become less frequent. Although I was hoping to get some night shots, we ended up catching the 8.45 ferry back to the mainland as we were starting to feel a bit cold and had an early start tomorrow for the trip to Montreal. Despite it not quite being darkl, the sun was just setting adding a nice bit of colour to the skyline. Back on the mainland we stopped of at the Nathan Philips Square, which we had been to on our first day, to take a look at the Toronto letters which are illuminated at night. It was dark by this point so the letters looked particularly impressive, changing colours every couple of minutes. I took some photos and then we headed back to the hotel to pack up ready for the train tomorrow.
