Calgary

Where were we?
What a fabulous city Toronto is; so much to say about it, so much to see and do.

Right that's enough about Toronto. We are now in Calgary.

Toronto is brilliant: it is close to Niagara Falls for one thing. It's also, I believe, close to Canada but the city fathers got lost and turned it into a big financial centre. It's a weird weird place. We spent more than a day looking for a decent place to have breakfast and walked all the way down to the harbour on Lake Ontario (about 2km) with few shops and no restaurants. Turns out that Toronto is all underground. No really.... there are hundreds of kilometres of walkways and they are all about 20 feet below street level.

I've known Andy for about 11 years but never actually met him in the flesh. He was really the reason we came to Toronto.... and is the reason that we ended up liking the place. Great guy and we really really don't hold it against him that we all went to the Canadian Hockey Museum which must be the most boring museum in the world and well worth the fee to get out.

We had a brilliant meal with him and Rhoda and I'm really really really fed up that I didn't take any photographs there. Camera on the table but we had such a good time that photies were forgotten.
 
Day before we went for a meal in a place called 3 breweries where I managed to leave both my Amex card and my Scottish hat. Needed that is because it was so ruddy cold. Naturally the day we left Toronto the temperature was 16 degrees where it had been 6 for the previous 4 days with lots of rain.
 
Mum just went on to Facebook where Tash was raving about...... wait for it..... how she'd just been to Niagara Falls. Unbelievable.... we were there the day before. It rained all day..... it was 3 degrees Centigrade. The Maid of the Mist boat didn't start until the day after..... and we missed Tash. What is the chances of that.
 
Off to meet Liz's cousin Beatrice's daughter Julie so better go.
