Goodbye Toronto

Another late post...

The Canadiana bacpackers inn has changed my opinion on hostels so I'm hoping the rest match up to it. You can give me all the clean beds in the world but if there's no free pancakes in the morning, I'm not interested.
Its been ca-razy hot weather here so we've done a lot of walking around and discovered places accidentally. China town isn't worth the hype, neither is little Italy but both kensingston and St Lawrence markets are definitely worth a look around. We spent a lot of our time at the urban beach overlooking the harbour and creeping on shirtless men so check that out fo' sho!
I had a panic attack in the CN Tower elevator but I'd still say take a valium and DO IT. Unfortunately I never had the luxury.
 
 
Bye Bye

Say Whuut

So, I've got this travelling thing down. Day 4 I'd already had my first nap, free BBQ, cider and a bottle of wine, after a day getting my tan on. 
My attitude's coming on leaps and bounds, there's been a lot of "say whuut?" and "y'all"s flying about but I'm still working on my accent. 
Joking aside we've been pre-tty cultural, we've made drinking friends with an Irish, a kiwi, a German, 2 Canadians, 2 french and a Brazilian. If that's not cultured, I don't know what is.
Toronto International Film Festival is on here so we've spent a fair chunk of our time here prowling the streets for Bradley Cooper and consequently found ourselves in Kensington Market, Chinatown, St Lawrence Market and at the top of the CN Tower. The latter I was less than comfortable with.
We didn't find Bradley but we did find Christopher Walken (not the silver fox we were hoping for but he'll do)!


Yesterday we discovered a place called Lou Dawgs, pictures still to come! We also made friends with a couple from Vancouver Island so we've been invited to hang out with them when we arrive on the island and they're going to show us the way around. Rick's a massive fan of David Attenborough so we'll be in good hands! My kinda people!

we're here!

Well our first day was pretty eventful and jetlagged but we got here alive so that's a start. I won't bore you with all the boring details of flights and stuff but just for the record my ears still aren't normal and the canadian visa lady at customs really liked our jokes and my jumper.










P.s I've seen at least a thousand potential supermodels. If you're reading this tyra...get on it.
