On this trip, we set out to explore the city in one day. We hit up Bellwoods Park, Ossington Avenue, the Distillery District and even the Toronto Aquarium. We've been to Toronto before, but this time it swept us off of our feet. We went to some amazing restaurants and bars as well. The food in Toronto was extraordinary.
We start things off in the historic Old Montreal. We walked around and explored the old cobblestone streets, the main square (Place Jacques-Cartier) all while being surround by so many beautiful, historic buildings. We also headed down to the Old Port of Montreal which seems to be somewhat newly developed with a Ferris wheel, lots of water activities and vendors. We stopped at one food truck called Felix and Norton for a cookie.
Our home base is Halifax and we therefore spend a significant amount of time there, especially during the pandemic and lockdown when all the restaurants and shops were closed. However, once things reopened we decided it’s time for a Halifax waterfront street food tour. Summer is the perfect time to explore Halifax and the waterfront is a must visit! We are about to try some delicious Halifax street food.
As we write this we’ve just wrapped up the most incredible four days visiting Indigenous Tourism locations throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Like most people from the Maritime Provinces we frequently drove through and past First Nations communities, yet we were both unaware of the amazing cultural experiences we were missing out on.
