We woke up at 9:15am because we went to bed near midnight. We missed the breakfast time at the hotel, so we ate breakfast at Sunset Grill restaurant near the hotel. The portions were generous, but my vegetarian omelet was tasteless. Their freshly squeezed juice was good.
Printed VIA tickets. Walked to the Hippo tours station. Missed the 1pm bus. Took the skywalk to CN tower. Bought Citybook passes. Did not enter the tower because they told us that we need to wait 30 minutes. Looked for a restaurant. Found one after 2pm. Dan and I ordered Angus meatloaf, which was good. The weather was comfortable. Not too hot, and not humid. Much better than the weather in Japan or New Jersey at this time of year.
Dan walked back to the hotel after lunch. The four of us visited the CN tower. The view from the lookout floor was nice but not spectacular. We did not wait in the long line to go to the top observatory. The glass floor was not amazing either. Bought a shirt for Shirley in the gift shop downstairs, and bought two postcards for Rena. Our picture was not ready when we tried to pick it up. We asked the attendant to pick it up the next day.
We missed the 5pm Hippo bus, so we bought tickets for the 6pm bus. Dorit and Rena ordered shakes in a restaurant, while Shirley and I went to a soft ice cream stand. Shirley liked her chocolate-vanilla swirl. Then we tried to pick our pictures from the basement of the CN tower. We got our pictures after 40 minutes and 3 conversations with the attendant. She was either extremely confused or inept.
Took the 6pm Hippo bus tour. The Hippo bus is an amphibious bus, which can drive on the road and travel on water with ease. The guide gave detailed explanations of the sights and included recommendations of attractions, restaurants, and current events. The highlight of the tour was splashing into the inner harbor.
We walked back to the hotel and bought food for dinner at the local 7-eleven store. It carried a much smaller selection of food than the Japanese counterpart. The selection was similar to the US selection.
