On the 5th day we didn't do too many things, but the crucial part of this day was that Dyeda got us a rental car. Yeah!
So on the 6th day, we decided to go to Downtown Toronto. We met up with KB downtown for lunch at the corner of Yonge and Bloor. So we drove from Milton and parked in downtown Toronto in the Bay parking lot for $12. We originally were going to a Thai restaurant North of Yonge but it was full so we went to one on the south side called Na Siam Thai.
When we entered, we saw that they have a fast food counter with all the pre-cooked stuff and I got a little discouraged. But we ordered a la carte, and even though it took them longer than it should to serve the food, the taste was actually better than I expected!

After lunch we stopped at a cafe called Yorkville Espresso Bar. I had a latte that was decent but still, I think I can get better ones in Jakarta.
We continued our journey on foot to the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). Miss Kiki was very excited to see the Dinosaur exhibition.

The ROM was a very big museum with a big variety of displays from fossils to armours to coffins. One embarrassing fact I learnt from my visit to the museum is that Indonesia is one of the top CO2 producers in the world, making a huge contribution towards the pollution in the atmosphere. Yikes!
The museum closed at 5 pm so we had to go out and not see every display there was. We then walked back to get the car and we drove around. We originally thought of going to the harbour front area and we did drive there. We drove along the road until the end and by the time we wanted to park, it was almost impossible to turn around and get anywhere because of the construction that was going on.
Instead, we decided to check out the new distillery area. I read about it in the magazine on a plane, so we figured we'd check it out. It was actually a nice area to hang out, with a selection of restaurants, bars, and cafes, as well as retail stores. When we got there were were quite hungry so we picked a restaurant and got food.
