Ventured on a city and harbour tour of Toronto ; best way to get acquainted with each new city in such a short period of time. The guide on the city tour didn’t have as many jokes up his sleeve (or was it me being tired) but at one stage it was hard to...

It was time to move onwards from Brentford to Toronto to see what the city had to offer. It was impossible to arrive and depart from that airport and not see Toronto , what would I say if people asked me how Toronto was? A hotel was booked in the heart...

This was a day of rest, sleeping until 11am and then lounging in the swimming pool after the delicious lunch (with mohito in hand). I absolutely love water, got a little pink from getting sunshine but that should turn to brown in a day or two....
