On a beautiful, sunny Saturday afternoon it was the perfect opportunity to go cruising Toronto's Lake Ontario. The sky was blue, sun shining and the water lapping. So off to catch the 'boat'. Toronto's ferry terminal is characterised by old warehouses, factories and docklands. Most have been redeveloped and feature galleries, shopping and residences. We caught a ferry out to the Toronto Islands, approximately a ten minute trip from the terminal. The islands are accessible by the ferry and once on the islands most people are transported by foot, bike, kayak or boat. Most of the islands are the summer residences of Candians, one features an amusement park (Centreville Amusment Park), and also a gondola chair ride connecting two islands. Trivial points of interest, Babe Ruth hit his first home run from Hanlan's Point in 1914. Of course the ball landed in the water, and now lays drowned on the bottom.
