Cheerio Toronto

---

Well, that's us about to leave Toronto a depart for Niagara Falls. We have decided that the city isn't all that bad, but not great either. It has stuff to do, but not that much that either interests us or is within our reach. Rather than return to here after Niagara for another week we've booked to go to Ottowa instead and then return just for our flight onwards. We've been to see the Royal Ontario Museum (although only for 30minutes since it was free), we've been to the old distillary district and the St. Lawrence food market and cathedral, spent a day on the islands off the coast of Toronto harbour laying in the sunshine on the beach although there was a small amount of sunburn. Also been to Fort York and Casa Loma to have a look at them while we were here so have managed to keep ourselves relatively busy.
Our first major lesson of travelling.....have a contingency plan! Yesterday we managed to lose each other in the city (after Stephanie wanted to do some shopping for jeans, and I didn't!) due to crossed wires about which fountains we were going to meet at. After 2 hours, a thunder shower and some worried looking we managed to reunite with each other back at the hostel and have vowed to carry mobiles with us at all times now!
Anyways, we're looking forward to moving on and plan to check out at 8am tomorrow, although we're unsure if the hostel manager understood us today when we told him!
(to george and louise, yes the email is working ok we got both your emails.)

We'll try put some pictures up after Niagara,

Paul and Stephanie
