Here's Kathie on the bridge overlooking Rouge Hill nature area outside of Toronto on our way in from Port Hope.
Ahhhh...our first rest day, after 5 days, averaging 80 miles...! Our ride into Toronto, yesterday, was a bit tiring, because all these days on the road we were spoiled with little traffic - as we got closer to the city of Toronto, traffic worsened rather quickly. However, we made it safely to Enno Agur's home at about 6:30 pm. As always, we were welcomed with the greatest hospitality one could ask for. For dinner, we BBq'd the most delicious foods (Thanks Kristina & Anne !), had plenty of wine and a great time.
Today we split up and toured the city in pairs (Christoph & Edmund / Kathie & Ken). We went to the water front walked through China town (and had some strange lunch there), and visited the Kensington Market, a rather artsy place with little shops that sell from fresh produce to pot paraphernalia. We stopped by some Chinese markets and looked at their fresh fish (some of which we could not recognize...). We met a young mother of two on a Stevens bicycle (Maja) who is from Hamburg and lives here in Toronto with her family for about 5 years now. Ken and Kathie went up CN tower and walked around having middle eastern lunch in Kensington. After that some bicycle maintenance...
Tomorrow we are having a light day going to Burlington (Hamilton) where we have a campsite secured.
The weather is still perfect - around 80 or so degrees (25 - 30 deg. C).
