Before a long day of driving, we ate brunch at a French cafe called Cafe Chartreuse in the town of Collingwood. We got the sandwich + soup combo as well as the homemade omelette. Nothing special about the potato+leek soup, but the curry salmon sandwich and the trout omelette were unusual choices and exceptionally delicious! After that, we visited the honey house and a local art gallery called the loft in a nearby town. Next we went to Walters Falls which situated right beside an inn. It's mentioned that some wedding pictures was taken here. On our way to the next waterfall, we passed by some interesting landscape, including a marshy-flooding highland and many wind turbines. Our last waterfall is called McGowan Falls located in Durham CA. It's relatively wide and flat but the water flowed very rapidly. We ended the day with waiting for sunset at the Stoney Island Conservation Area overlooking the shoreline of Lake Huron. Fortunately we made it in time and it was a clear, sunny day. Hence, the sunset was magnificient!!! It was a long drive back to the hotel, so we ate a brief dinner at Boston Pizza. 


Spa Bath Passes :)

Blue Mountain Village... there's still some snow visible on the mountain!
Wild Wings

Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster
Giant chocolate chip cookie :D
Sunset Point Park
The last day consisted of relaxing at the Scandanavian Spa at Blue Mountain. I had to say one of the hot baths was too warm for the day! Then we ate lunch at the Blue Mountain village's Wild Wings. There were so many flavours to choose from, but our pick was texas honey (honey + maple sauce). Unfortunately it was raining and we could not try the new roller coaster styled ride at Blue Mountain. Before we left the village I bought a chocolate chip cookie at the Royal Majesty Espresso Bar Bakery, it was very big, thin, and crispy! I also wanted to try their butter tart too. Before driving back to Toronto, we made a stop at Sunset Point Park in Collingwood, which had an Inukshuk, an amazing shoreline, aqua waves, and a lighthouse from afar. It was noted in a local magazine this would be the best place to capture the perfect sunset in Collingwood.
