Toronto

First full day!

26.08.2006 24 °C

Well it's my first full day here in Toronto and kinda started really early (6:30am) surprisingly for me but then again I couldnt really sleep on the floor as we ended up with a double bed instead of two singles but it is only for a week!

Had cold BBQ chicken wings for breakfast. It was proper scranny! so to kill time we ate them sat in the local park about 50 yards from the hostel and watched the black squirrels running all over the place and the pigeons attacking each other!

Around 12:30 we met up with Giulia and Reb again to go around Yonge Street and take a look around! Ended up coming back six hours later with a pillow and duvet for my flat at Wycik but still missing the bottom sheet for my bed! However during that six hours we discovered the underground tube system, street cars (Metrolink tram system back home) and we walked along the Harbour front with all the tall boats and yachts and finally got our glimps of the CN Tower...Its huge! So is the Rogers stadium where the Toronto Blue Jays play baseball! A huge explosion noise went off in the city but had no idea what it was! There was no panic so nothing to worry about. Just sat in the kitchen typing this out before we meet up with that dynamic Aussie duo for a night out looking for the local pubs and bars!

So I guess my next entry will be tomorrow! Another night on the floor...bring it on!
