We had a lovely walk along the lakeside, walked into city center, and got to visit some great chocolate shops along the way.

The Chocolate Factory visit a little disappointing but the samples were plentiful and fun! It was a lovely day and scenery stunning! Wish a bit more of the day would have been closer to the lake rather than heavily congested freeways but I realize that would extend timing. Overall a delightful way to spend the day and highly recommend.”
