Toronto

Fortunately for us, we were able to call on our good friend Mikey to show us around. The good man not only waited for us throughout the immigration process and luggage collection fiasco, but also drove us around the city, showed us the hotspots, answered millions of tiresome questions ranging from Canada's range of fizzy drinks (pop), to strange and wonderful vocabulary (gas, condo) but also provided very good (Canadian) company. Great to see you again, Mikey! Toronto has an arty and eclectic edginess, evident in the Queen West street area, which we really enjoyed. But after only 20 hours in the city it was back to the airport, where I spent my time engrossed in Canadian magazines and newspapers, trying to acclimatise to the media culture of the country. More pics up soon, promise!

Canada at last!

Sorry for the large gap - changing time zones, running through airports, buying hangers and black bags and emptying suitcases over the floor have meant that internet access has been sorely limited. But in the great CA we are, safely and with all our luggage (still waiting for air-freight which is crucial, so cross fingers)!

Will put photos up soon - as soon as I have internet access on my own computer.
