Yesterday Sean and I returned to Port Dalhousie to see the carousel. It was built in 1903 and was restored painstakingly in the 1980s.
The carousel has over 60 hand carved animals and some benches that look like sleighs. A calliope organ plays songs from the early 1900s that make a ride on the carousel a trip into history.
A ride still costs only 5 cents.
Whaaaaat? In Australia, someone would be charging $5 and blaming it on the price of insurance.
We had a lovely ride that lasted over 5 minutes. It was simply delightful.
