Enjoying the Scarborough Bluffs

A few weeks ago, we were in Toronto with two of my son's friends who were visiting from Switzerland.

Caro and Michael love to travel. This was their fourth trip to Canada.

On previous trips they visited us in Ottawa - once even driving with Terry and me to Quebec City and the Gaspe.

Another time, they rented a tent and canoed for a week in Algonquin Park.

Real adventurers!

Was there anything they hadn't seen in Toronto?

The Scarborough Bluffs?!

Off we went to search for the most interesting view of these cliffs overlooking Lake Ontario, just east of Toronto.

Five parks can be found along the 15 kilometers of beach-side bluffs.

We stopped at two of them.

Compared to Switzerland, this is nothing, Terry commented as we photographed the highest cliffs we saw.

True, but this swan habitat under the bluffs does not resemble the Canada I know, Michael replied. I feel as if I'm in a different country.

It was an interesting excursion for us all.
