When you visit another country and have a native tell you, you're doing something that most tourists don't know about. And then post that they said that on the Internet, you're a pompous douchebag. So I'm not going to tell you that a stranger from Toronto told me told me that.
But like most of my discoveries when I travel I got to give it up to Yelp. Thank you Yelp for leading to me to one of the highlights on my trips to Toronto.
Take a nice peaceful ferry ride from the south part of downtown Toronto to the Islands.
What can you do there?
- Have some drinks by a lake inside a lake.
- Get naked on a nude beach.
- Ride tandem bikes that you and your friend have no idea how to ride.
- Eat an amazing lunch.
- See some beautiful views of Lake Ontario.
- Soak up some sun.
- Check out the lighthouse.
- Join a pick up softball game.
- Take some beautiful pictures.
- Enjoy a wonderful ride on the ferry, back to shore. As the sun sets.
Whether you're visiting or living in Toronto, do yourself a favor. Make you sure you visit the Islands for at least one day.
