Canada & USA 2017 - Part 2

On The Way To Canada

Monday - September 11th 2017

Because of the jetlag we woke up pretty early and so we packed our stuff, had breakfast and soon we were on our way to Canada. With some stops along the way, it took us about four hours to drive to Toronto. There we stayed at a Bed & Breakfast called Elliot House, which was run by a lovely and very friendly couple. Usually we don't stay at B&Bs, we prefer hotels, but since Toronto was hosting the Toronto International Film Festival, the hotel prices were through the roof. However we enjoyed our stay at the B&B a lot, not only because our room had its own bathroom, and we would definitely stay there again.

After we ckecked in and refreshed, we headed to Doomie's, a vegan restaurant that serves amazing vegan burgers, for a late lunch and then we walked to Toronto's Downtown. There we enjoyed some drinks at a great rooftop bar before we were on the way back to our B&B. That was the last time that we walked into the city or back to the hotel, because it took us about an hour for one direction.

Canada & USA 2017 - Part 3

Toronto

Tuesday - September 12th 2017

We still got up pretty early and after breakfast we took the tram into the inner city. For today we had planned to visit the CN Tower. Once we arrived at the tower there was no line at all and soon we were on top. Thanks to the wonderful weather, we had a fantastic view over Toronto from the visitor plattform.

After we spent quite some time at the CN Tower, we decided to get a coffee at Starbucks and then we headed to the Eaton Centre. There we checked out the shops until it was time for lunch at Fresh Restaurant. In the afternoon we wanted to take the boat to the Toronto Islands, however on our way to the harbour we had to stop at the Steam Whistle Brewery near the CN Tower. There we met a lovely British couple and enjoyed some drinks with them. Later we caught the ferry to the islands, where just strolled around the quiet and beautiful parks.

Back in the city we had dinner at Chipotle and then we just walked around Downtown in the hope to see a movie star due to the Toronto Film Festival. Unfortunately we didn't get to see any Hollywood stars and so we took the tram back to our Bed & Breakfast.
