Niagara-on-the-Lake (or NOTL) is an
extremely pretty town not far from the town of Niagara Falls. Being summer
there were lots of tourists, lots of flowers and driving in, there were also
lots of stands selling corn, peaches and other fruit and veg. We would find it
difficult to eat 3L of peaches by ourselves though!
As with most touristy places (like Niagara
Falls too), parking is expensive unless you drive a block or two out of the
centre of town and walk in. Then it’s free, so that’s what we found and then we
walked down the main street, checking out all the cute shops.
Of course, all I wanted was free samples
and that we found! As we were walking down the street I grabbed Will and
dragged him into a random shop. They had the most delicious range of dips and
relishes and jams to try! I did get a souvenir too – a stain from the blueberry
balsamic vinegar. Luckily it washed out under Niagara Falls the next day! My
favourite was the asiago dip – amazing. However $17 for a small jar was not so
fun. So I had one more sample of it and then we left!
We also stopped by at an amazing art
gallery. The artist has travelled around the world and taken amazing photos,
then had them printed on canvas. It is a unique type of art, because he told us
he’d developed the technique himself. They were so terrific, that if we had had
the money we would’ve bought a couple! I loved the one of a frozen Niagara
Falls. There were also some nice ones of Australia and New Zealand, but in
respecting the artist’s work, I didn’t take any photos.
