Thursday July 2nd
We went up the CN tower, which was owned by the railways but is now owned by “somebody else “. It was the highest tower in t he world except for the unopened one in Dubai. So it is still the highest. I had a bit of trouble, the height gets me. I didn’t go on though glass floor, I had trouble even looking over it, all these little kids were jumping on it, didn’t bother them, (I hate them) Geoff wasn’t bothered though. They said that the weight that the glass floor could take was 20 hippos, don’t know how they would get them up there to measure them though. Great view, on a clear day you can see Niagara falls, so they say, of course it was hazy, so limited it a bit. We went to Eaton Square which was a shopping centre, between Sears & Hudson Bay Company. Geoff then went off and did the washing, I had a sleep. We had dinner at a lovely French Restaurant that night and went home in the daylight, love these long daylights.

Friday July 3

We went down to St Lawrence markets for breakfast. This was a fun experience, bought some rolls and things to go in them for lunch, then headed off to the Distillery, which is like the Rock s in Sydney. Walked around there for a while and then headed down to the Harbour and had an hour cruise around the islands in the harbour, found a spot after then and had our lunch, walked some more and then back to the hotel.

At the moment there is a strike of people who empty bins around the place, so they are all overflowing. They have covered some of them with plastic so you can’t put any more in them.
