Toronto Island

Finally, summer is here! We have temperatures (already!) better than any dutch summer, I have experienced. So, Clem and I planned a day on Toronto Island on victoria Day - it's located in lake Ontario right in front of the shore line of downtown Toronto. Arriving at the ferry at 10:30am was not early enoug - in turned out we were not the only ones with that idea...What a surprise on a sunny, warm, holiday monday! Anyway, we got there, i took about 50 pictures of t

he view onto Toronto from the boat.

It was an awesome day! you are just 20 min away from the city, but you don't hear it anymore, nor smell it, nor see it if you are on the right end! There were lots of trees, picknick benches, lawns, sand beaches (with or without naked people), boats, and people! Walking along the beach, hot hot sand, you could barely walk in it! and then, dip your feet in the water and cool down...The sand had cool colours, ranging from, well, sand-colour, to red, glitte

ry grey to black! and beautiful stones in all colours when the water drove over them! Really cool to watch and try to picture in a photo!

We had a jummy picknick with Clemence's delicious quiche, addictive chocolate cookies, pasta salad, fresh pineapple and kiwis. I say, we live very well :)

On the way walking around, you could smell BBQ everywhere - nex

t time, we have to bring one! Best take half day off from work, go swimming and BBQing...why I am still @ work???
