I went for a walk after breakfast, it was our lastest time to leave at 9am.
This was what I was after.

Short hop to Phillidelpia. We stopped off for morning tea at Biden centre in Delaware. After a short stop to see Rocky, we were taken to the Reading market for lunch. What a crush that was and we only had forty minutes. Had to order and then wait for it to be made.
Warren and headed to a quieter aisle and ended up in the fruit and vege market, he bought some bananas and nectarines while I fought my way to the restrooms. Again it was a queue, we got out of there as soon as possible.
We have already had a tour of the city but were taken to the information area and given two and a half hour to explore or waste. Can't get into rooms until 4pm.
Keys to the rooms were on our seats when we were picked up. Starting to get cold again so it was very welcoming to take our bags to the room.
As we had only managed a banana for lunch, we set off for China town, it was six blocks straight down the road.
I saw chicken and eggplant on the menu and Warren asked about egg and tomato, our two favourite dishes from China.
Neither disappointed, it was so good. One of the best and cheapest meals we have had for dinner since being here. Two dishes and rice, two cokes and two spring rolls for $40.
Yesterday for lunch we had two coffees, ham and cheese crisconant avo on toast with some yoghurt and cereal and that was $55. USA so about $70.
My avo on toast.
The main things I wanted to see and do on this trip was Niagara falls and Amish country.
Bus stop was about a ten minute walk from hotel, cost $2.25 each to go one trip. Feed the money, no change. We travelled 17 stops or 30 minutes and had another ten minutes walk to the start.
Every one was so friendly even just chatting to people on the street. I did the bar coe scanning. After we met some of the runners at the local Cafe. I ordered and went to pay and discovered that it had already been paid. Not sure which one did it but I thanked the table.
Sunny day but windy.We were dropped at Capitol Hill for a couple of hours before checking into our hotel.
It was cool and windy but the sun was out.
Only a short hop to Niagara falls from Toronto, about two hours. Stopped off at the floral clock.
Next stop was at windfall cable car.
Cold but at least it wasn't raining. Shops apparently don't open until 10am.
Why don't we have a Tim's?
Had a city tour this morning and then ended up at the quay for morning tea/ early lunch before our cruise.
Tim Hortons for a double double, first time of trying it. It's good, double is double cream and double sugar. With that we got a herb and garlic pop tart thing for me, which was heated. Warren got a basic Boston donut. Yum. Couldn't believe the price, less than $10
After the cruise I bought a beaver tail to try. Basically it's donut batter pulled into beaver tail shape fried with toppings, I went for cinnamon and sugar. $8.03.
Had a Tim's pizza the other day with a coffee each and it was only $17.
We travelled from Montreal had lunch at the By markets before collecting our local guide. Unfortunately Warren lost his travel card there. He went to pay for some bananas and was told that they only accepted cash. He thinks he put it in his pocket along with a piece of his shirt.
By market was incredible, no tatty shops or souvenir stuff, just food and fruit and vegetables and a second section was plants and flowers. Beautiful looking fruit and vege, looked like they had been polished.
It had been raining so we stayed mainly on the bus. Phillip did take us on a short walk to the governors house.
