Nanticoke isn’t far from Port Dover, a lovely little resort town, most notable for the fact that, every Friday the 13th, bikers from all over the place ride in for a huge rally.  It’s one massive party, and it’s great for the local economy.  That’s why you’ll find some biker-themed shops there, amidst the gift shops & restaurants.

It’s also not too far from Brantford, where you can visit the Bell Homestead (home of the inventor of the telephone).  It’s also Wayne Gretzky’s home town.  And it has a terrific frozen custard (like soft ice cream, but much denser) stand, called Dairy Delight.

You’re bound to meet some German speakers in that area.  Kitchener-Waterloo hosts a big Oktoberfest every year.  It was featured in the climactic scene of the McKenzie Brothers movie, “Strange Brew”.

If you get to Hamilton, you’ll find lots of German speakers at Denniger’s Foods of the World.  Denninger’s has several locations, including one in Jackson Square mall, which is about 10 minutes’ walk from the Hamilton GO Centre.

They make their own deli meats  & other food products, as well as selling all sorts of imported European foods.  And they have a lunch counter, where you can get a nice big schnitzel mit sauerkraut!
