A Taste of Toronto

What we have been up to so far....

Arrived in Toronto on Saturday afternoon only to discover that my mom and dads’ telephones did not work (how we found ourselves at one of the busiest airports in North America is a miracle). After a happy family reunion we caught a cab downtown stuck in traffic jam for an hour and a half… As you can imagine it was a quite turbulent Saturday…

However now we are well settle downtown in an amazing apartment close to all the main attractions. Yesterday we strolled through the old area (where most of the pictures below are taken) to the old distillery which is the best preserved distillery in the whole North America.

Today we were at Casa Loma, an incredible “building” (read castle) built by a rich entrepreneur in the beginning of this century (only to be taken away by the government when he couldn’t pay his tax).  Really a special building which served as a hideout for planning during the 2nd world war, therefore there was also hidden staircases and a tunnel below ground connecting the building to the nearby stable. What would the world be without crazy people?  Pictures are coming soon…

Now we are chilling at home preparing for a family cinema evening watching the debt. Tomorrow we are heading for the Niagara Falls. Toronto does have potential!
