Well thought we better update everyone since its been over a week since we left. We arrived in toronto on sat at 5 and where knackered after gettin up at 4 on sat morning so we didnt do much sat or sun as there not much on then. There isnt much goin on at all trips wise as its too cold so no fishing or kayaking trips so it was inevitable we ended up in the pub during the day on monday!! so we got a big shock to the price of beer, its as expensive at home! but apparently the rest of canada isnt as expensive as toronto.
Tuesday we went up the cn tower which is pretty cool, great views of the whole city was a bit cloudy but could see most of it and we got plenty of pics. wednesday was a bit messy ended up in the local pub watching the england game with lads from the hostel. they werent showing it on the tv but we got it streaming on the hostel dudes laptop, i thoroughly enjoyed the match but leigh didnt think it was so good lol. so we ended up staying in the pub the whole evening and staggering home at some hour we were complete blanks and true to form i woke up with another massive bruise on my leg and neither of us could remember where i got it so must have fell somewhere the whole 50 yds from the pub.
So thursday we hit niagara falls. we got a bus from the hostel at 11 which was good as the heads werent great. this mexican dude was driving the bus and he knew a lot of stuff about the area around niagara. we stopped at a winery for some tasting and lucky enough we only had sips cos the stomach werent great either. we got a taste of this ice wine which is famous in the area. its picked at night when its -10 degrees and each grape only give one drop of wine so its about 55 dollars for a tiny bottle!!so me moved onto the fall s and they were pretty cool and we got to see them lit up as we got the later bus. unfortunaley we forgot the camera doh. nut got a few pics on leighs phone lucky enough.
Friday was quiet as well just walked around the city and taking it easy before saturday night when we seen paul van dyk. went to the pub early saturday to see the chelsea game and who is sitting in the pub only my old colleague from BWG, kevin the programmer who left a few weeks before me. turned out he was in our hostel in the same building and he arrived the day before. so we went to a hockey game with kev and his mate. the toronto marlies where playin the syracuse crunch, its like the 2nd division or reserves league. apparently the tickets for the main team are $200 and impossible to get anyway. but it was a good match went to 3-3 and then the mighty marlies got a goal in et to win the match. we got great seats not appreciated as much as kevins travel mate whos a girl. we had the marlies dancers right in front of us, so every time theres a break in the game which is about every 2 minutes the lovely dancers where strutting there stuff !!! so im gona save all the lads the bother of googling them and put the link in myself http://www.torontosun.com/marlies07/
After the game we cruised back to the hostel, we had to make the trip to the offy which is about an hour!! its not like home where theres off licences in the spars!! but they do have massive bottles of corona over 2 normal bottles. skulled them and taxied over to the club. club was massive must have held about 2 r 3000. was good enough nite and leigh calved at 5.30 in morning so went home and the south african dude ni our room was still loaded,he said he was looking for us in the club he was in "wherrre da fack wheeeere u guys i waaas looking faaa you all niiiiite"(in his south african accent) leigh was in making noodles and got chatting some chinese guy that used to live in ireland in the troubles. he used to have to drive around the coast to get to the south so the ira wouldnt catch him!! madness
