We flew into Toronto airport and stayed in a motel in Etobicoke while exploring the city. Loved Toronto Islands and the trams (street cars). Found a couple of vegetarian restaurants. Visted the Ontario Parliament Building and the National Art Gallery of Ontario. Hired a car and visited Niagara falls for the day (unmissable), and drove back to Toronto via Niagara-on-the-Lake (pleasant). Drove up to Ottawa to stay with family in Nepean. From there, we headed for Montreal (see Quebec). When we returned to Ontario, it was via Cornwall. We spent an afternoon and a morning at Upper Canada Village (which is excellent), and drove rapidly up-river for last Thousand Islands boat-trip of the day. Kingston was rather uninspiring, but then we drove up towards Peterborough to see the Serpent Mounds. Appetite whetted for more historical contact with indigenous people, we drove up to Midland to visit the reconstructed Huron village, and also Sainte Marie amongst the Hurons.
Visited the Canadian Parliament building, and the national park just over the border in Quebec Province.
