Got up this morning and walked across the street to the Willow Cakes and Pastries...what a good idea that turned out to be. Several hard working women were baking some awesome looking pastries. Sylvia had an herb and cheese scone and I wolfed down an unbelievable Pork Pie. I'd love to get a couple of Pork Pies tomorrow morning for our ride, but they probably won't be open by the time we leave.
After breakfast Sylvia went for a walk but was sidetracked by a decision to stroll up Queen street and all its little shops. I decided to rent a bike and ride the twenty miles up to Niagara Falls. That turned out to be another great idea. There was a bike path along the Niagara river that passed through vineyards, several markets, an arboretum, overlooks, plus it ended up at Niagara Falls. It was an incredible four hour ride that was the same one that Winston Churchill enjoyed so much. Later that day Sylvia and I did the same drive up to the Falls and on the way back we stopped and had a glass of wine at Queenston Heights Restaurant (picture)...what a view. The restaurant was closed, but since we only wanted a glass of wine they were kind enough to open it just for us. For dinner we went to the Old Winery at the recommendation of a local restauranteur that we had met at the bakery earlier in the day. The simple Italian food was a very good recommendation.
