MM Links September 2012 Week 3
(posted by gen2 on behalf of fordward)
This is “King Fordward” back once again and my usual thanks to Gen 2 as we leap into week 3.
Last week I was in Australia which was 2006, we now jump forward to 2010 as we fly into Toronto to complete my second ambition. It was great, a nice short flight compared to the Oz one. Our first visit was to Niagara Falls and a trip on the 'Maid of the Mist' which gave us fantastic views. And to think the USA was just across a bridge. Next it was on to Ottawa, stopping off at the 'Big Apple' as it was time for a cuppie. No, not 'THE' Big Apple (NY), but a giant apple 38 feet in diameter and 35 ft high in Colborne. They had a lot of pictures on the wall of other strange things around the world. One was a giant lobster in Australia which we had our picture taken under.
Next port of call was Quebec which we didn’t like, it was too French for us, then onto some whale watching. Surprisingly, we actually saw some. Then to Montreal and the Olympic stadium, very impressive considering how long ago it was, and back to Toronto. We did get city tours of all the cities visited but it was a very quick week so we stayed a few more days at the Sheraton Hotel so we could go up the CN Tower, what a view. In all, a very enjoyable trip and we might do it again.
Right, back to the game.
