After a little shopping we caught the ferry to Toronto Island.
We spent the majority of our time either on the swings on cycling round on hired bikes.
In the evening we went to Hooters for chicken wings and a jug of beer.

Arrived in Toronto

After a fabulous lunch at Chuck E Cheese, we drove into town and Checked-in.
Our stroll took us to the CN Tower, so rather than wait until tomorrow, we went up it today.
And a success it was too.
We finished the day with a slap up meal to celebrate Nikki's birthday.

A bit of a shlep today. 2 hours plus with a less than settled Syd.

Think we might need to stop to tire him out a bit.
