Day 13 Wilton to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario


Got an early start and made an uneventful 450 mile drive from Wilton to Niagara-on-the-Lake. Five years ago we drove through this town on our way from Niagara Falls to Toronto and we decided that someday we would return to this unbelievably quaint little town. Winston Churchill called the twenty mile drive from Niagara Falls to Niagara-on-the-Lake “The prettiest Sunday drive in the world”, and I can't disagree. We checked in and walked down to Queen Street and checked out the main commercial area. It's really pretty, but as usual the tourists inundate the area. We had a few drinks at a little place overlooking the lake and, since we were tired from the eight hour drive, we just stopped at a local pub for an excellent pizza before calling it a night.
