Toronto and London Ontario

Flew to Toronto last week where we stayed with Dave, one of Mooses mates (thanks!).

toronto was nice, but as cold as this photo suggests.
Did the typical touristy things - CN Tower - great views, the St Lawrence Market, and downtown Toronto. Taking a special tour of the hockey hall of fame. many great sights and interesting hockey facts. had some great interactive games where you could be the goalie or take shots on net with a virtual goalie. fi fluked two goals and beat everyone in the building!!! i managed one goal, she let everyone know about it!

Also had some good food and drink - Toronto is similar to Melbourne - full of culture, theatre and good places to eat - has a really upbeat atmosphere. (But it snows at night!). 2 great spots were recommended to us by other travellers. C'est what - an amazing underground beer haven in toronto.

And Jamie Kennedy's kitchen. A sensational tapas restaraunt with excellent food and wine pairings.

Bussed it to London to meet up with Maryliz and Al Quigley, who have been the most amazing hosts, providing wonderful homecooked meals, great wine and a really comfy bed.

We also stayed at their beautiful lakeside cottage and played boardgames, sat in front of the open fire, or went for walks exploring the snowed over beach.


this is the view out on the lake - lake huron. sensational! the brown is frozen sand washed up on frozen breakers.

We have had a really lovely relaxing week. Ready now to gear up and see the Niagara falls on a day tour, then we are flying to London England!! Our Europe adventure is about to begin!
