Walking into town is a nice 20-mimute walk, mainly downhill.
You pass by some nice houses along the trail.
And walk past a rather menacing sign.
But instead of being a dangerous hill, it didn't menace us in the least nor try to trip us even once.
We did pass by quite a few horse-drawn carriages.
We then reached town and had lunch at Millie's on Main, which has the best Fish'n'Chips.
We then went to sample and buy the Island's most famous export product - fudge!
We sampled and shopped and brought some home as well.
We then wandered the main street and browsed a bit and then called for a taxi back to the airport.
The taxi:
More of a ride share than a taxi, it was pretty loaded with a bunch of golfers headed to a course for their tee time, very pleasant people, so we clambered on.
We went past the Grand Hotel.
And then to the airport, with some stops along the way to rest and water the horses. The golfers wished us a safe flight.

My aunt was housemother at one of the places where the young ladies who work there for the summer stay. She was over 70 but loved it so much she did it for several years.
My wife and I visited the Island and went on a carriage ride with her. It really is a neat place to see.
We drove to Mackinac when I was 10-11 years old. Still remember it . High light for me was going to Sault Ste Marie and seeing the ore freighters
Pigpen51: Yep, it's quite a special place. That's a neat story about your aunt and interesting that she did that job. The carriage rides are quite fun.
Matthew W: Yep I've taken the kids there driving before, and they remember it and Leah really enjoys the memories form us flying together.
