Sooooo, am Morgen um ca. 7 Uhr ist unser Flieger in San Francisco in Richtung Toronto gestartet. Nach einem 5stuendigen Flug sind wir in Washington gelandet. Von dort ging unser Flug dann weiter nach Buffalo (ca. 1 Stunde) und dann hatten wir noch eine 3stuendige Busfahrt nach Toronto vor uns. Todmuede sind wir angekommen, haben ein Taxi zu unserem Hostel genommen und sind dann auch sogleich eingeschlafen (eine Dusche gabs vorher auch noch). Am naechsten Tag haben wir die Stadt mittels Touristenbus besichtigt und am Abend trafen wir Kimi (Helenas Kollegin, welche uns zum Hochzeit eingeladen hatte) um ihr bei den Hochzeitsvorbereitungen noch unter die Arme zu greiffen (wir machten Pralines, welche zur Tischdeckoration benutzt wurden). Am naechsten Tag wurde wiederum die Stadt besichtigt sowie am dritten Tag auch. Am Abend des dritten Tages besuchten ... read more

have now had my month anniversary, and looking back i seem to have sqeezed in a fair amount in my last 30 days, landing, immigration at the airport, youth hostel life, house hunting, rags to riches moving into luxuary condo living, having my own pool to play in, still successfuly managed to no use the gym, but have found myself a brilliant massage therapist who has 'sorted' my back to the point of no more daily pain killers. bliss. and its all covered by my fancy health insurance perk of the new job. have learnt more in this job than i have in the whole of my redhouse lane experience. have managed to make a name for myself for 'jumping in with both feet in my job' and my anal attention for detail is not mocked ... read more

Our major excursion on Sunday was a trip to the top of the tallest man-made structure in the world - the CN Tower. Won't bore you with the details but the tallest observation deck is way up there. Pat & Geoff took the lift to the first level - in a lift with glass walls that ran up the outside of the tower travelling at 22kph - then we waited in line to travel up a further 100 m to the tallest observation point the Sky Pod (marked on the photo) Great view, but Geoff's balance was skewed and vertigo spoilt the experience somewhat. Pat was keen to step onto a glass floor and look down 350 m but didn't. GMB didn't get anywhere near it. We polished off our final day doing some window ... read more
