Novotel Toronto Vaughan Centre

... Everybody leaves their garbage bags (no bins, no cans) on the sidewalk. It&#8217;s supposed to be picked up every night, but some places have 20 bags stacked up. You&#8217;d figure that they would set out the bags towards evening, but no, it&#8217;s out there ALL DAY LONG. Shoppers/visitors have to navigate around them &#8211; it&#8217;s ridiculous. <br><br>Things we ...

... are probably 50 meters high. His huge reception area is filled with couches, art, very sharp &amp; jovial staff. There&#8217;s even a large telescope. The 54th floor is full of meeting rooms. From his desk, he overlooks Lake Ontario, Toronto harbor, Union station, Toronto Islands, Air Canada Center, Rogers Center, the CN Tower and much of the financial district. It is amazing!<br><br>

... reason you pay to get your car off the road is so that they won't ticket you in the middle of the night.<br><br>And why is it you need a PhD in parking enforcement to work out when and where you can park on a Toronto street?<br><br>Someone, please...............<br>

... told that to drive from Toronto to Quebec and then Montreal would be no less than about 15 hours driving time. Hmmmmmmmmm................... Right, after 30mins on a cold metal station bench, a strong coffee out of a paper cup and our i-pod calendar, plan B was established! We decided to hire a car still, but this time only from Toronto to Niagara Falls for a few days then back to Toronto where we would catch a train up to Quebec (involved catching 2 trains and a total of ...

... big gob. &#948; does mean d, but pronounced as if your tongue can't quite make it up to your pallet because it's labouring under the weight of several ouzos. &#946; may look a lot like B, but it means v. &#965; also sometimes means v. &#957; means n, but only in lower case. In upper case, it means l, but only when upside-down. N in upper case means N, but &#951; in lower case means ...

Arrived in Toronto after another 8+ hour bus journey. Went straight to a bar to meet my cousin and met his mate from Ireland, Alan. Went out to a bar the first night and then went to a house party on a rooftop terrace right near the CN tower. The camera`s batteries died that night so no pics, but we`re here for nearly a week so hopefully get more pics up soon.

... was no point in telling me to come back and meet them before the parade. I promise to meet them at Church and Bloor, knowing full well I will not. Yeah, oh well, I'll call them tonight at some point. I guess. Or maybe, I'll just leave for Ken's cottage tonight. No, that won't do. Ken has no telephone. So anyway, the parade gets started at about 2:30, there is the requisite half naked men prancing around on top of large trucks...there are drag queens and more topless lesbians ...

... lopsided bed, we breakfasted on stuff we found in the fridge, then walked uptown to investigate transport to Niagara: Kirsty had read online about a company (Safeway Tours) that runs a cheap shuttle to the Niagara Casino for less than half the price of the mainstream tour companies. The deal, as it turns out, is that you can't take any luggage bigger than a handbag, it's $30 a person return, and each person gets a free $10 casino chip (which you can ...

... CN Tower. We bought our ticket and took the lift all the way up for 360 degree views of the snow covered city. We tested our nerves by standing on the glass floor which gives you a great view of the ground far below and a mild case of the heebie jeebies. We managed to find the PATH system which links the entire city underground so you don't have to endure the cold weather and walked all the way to the city hall where we chickened out on ...

... There you can see the big mapple leaf made in grass.<br><br>This is also the territory of gooses, ducks and squirrels. <br><br>I feel very peacefull and confortable all the parks I have visited in Toronto. I really enjoyed these places with are fully part of the city.<br>
