A Border Town Between US & Canada: Windsor
After exploring Point Pelee National Park in our last episode, we stayed overnight in the charming border town of Windsor (about 60 km away). ๐ Windsor is tightly connected to Detroit via: Ambassador Bridge ๐ Detroit-Windsor Tunnel ๐ Michigan Central Railway Tunnel (now operated by Canadian Pacific Railway) ๐ A dedicated freight ferry route โด๏ธ As a border city, Windsor has its own unique vibe. So, whatโs there to see? First: Replenish Your Luck (or Just Chill) ๐ฐ Caesars Windsor Casino โ The cityโs most famous attraction. Win big? ๐ Upgrade your vacation, live lavishly, and forget about going home! Lose? ๐ No worriesโhit the free fitness facilities, regroup, and try again next year. My Free Sightseeing Tour (For the Budget-Conscious) ๐ฟ Windsor Sculpture Park โ A free outdoor gallery along the Detroit River. Stroll by the water to ease post-casino regrets. โ๏ธ (The riverโs chillyโgood for cooling down, but skip this in winter!) Prefer fewer crowds? This riverside trail is perfect. ๐๏ธ Peche Island โ A 36-hectare uninhabited island in the Detroit River. Need a boat to get there. Discover the historic concrete bridge and ponder: Why is there a bridge on a deserted island? ๐ค Also, reflect on why Lady Luck abandoned you at the casino. ๐ ๐ Spago โ A renowned Italian restaurant in Windsor, famous for homemade pasta and classic dishes. Summer Road Trip? Cross the Border for Fun! ๐๏ธ Sandpoint Beach (Stop 26) โ A popular sandy spot in East Windsor. ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ Adventure Bay Family Water Park โ Like Great Wolf Lodge, but with a wave pool for surfing practice! ๐ Our Itinerary: Half a Day is Enough! After a morning in Windsor, we head back toward Cambridgeโa town with elegant scenery, hiding its charm like a well-bred lady. ๐ #OutdoorAdventures #TorontoLife #Canada #Windsor
