Hello, we are writing this at precisely 9:30pm, so that means it's about 2:30am in the UK. So we can safely say what you guys are up to :-)
Right, as for us. We arrived yesterday after a seven hour flight. To ease ourselves into this backpacking thing, we decided to stay at my rellies house.
We have had a busy day - fighting off jet lag and going up the tallest building in the WORLD - CN TOWER!!!!! Here's a little bit of useless information for you - it 1815 feet tall, that's 553 metres. After that we went window shopping in Eaton Mall - only window shopping as we can't buy anything as it won't fit in our backpacks, which is a bummer as it's really cheap over here. Then we had a little cruise around downtown Toronto, which is the same as any other metropolitan city. TRAFFIC boy is there traffic here, I whinge about London's traffic but that's nothing to here - 5/6 lanes of it !! Food wise, I seriously don't think they know what healthy food is all that they have is fast food BURGERS !! HUGE house's here it's unbelievable, most bedrooms
have en-suites and nearly 90% of the houses have basement's which are amazing as they are the whole width and breadth of the house, talk about a games/play room.
Tomorrow is our last full day in Toronto so we are going to make the most of it by going to Niagra falls. Friday we are then off to Calgary on a 4 hour flight.
Hope everything is ok back in the UK ?

Photo's of Mandy!!!! No way
How the hell did you get Mandy to stay still longer enough to have a photograph taken? Then again, if you look closer at the photo's I think Helen has a good grip on the girl (Helen is freakly strong - lets not forget she managed to brake a thigh master). Photo's are great, and love the website... Have fun :)
