CN Tower

We went up the CN Tower before we went to the aquarium. I thought I'd do a separate post just to drag out Toronto. I really wanted to do the edgewalk around the outside of the tower but prices started from $195 which is way too expensive. If it was cheaper I would have definitely done it. Our City Pass got us in there but unfortunately doesn't cover the extras!

Went up the see through lift

Wished we stayed up there till it was dark as it would have looked just as good in the dark with all the lights.

This was the next level down that was open. It was so cold and windy as we were that high up.

They're really not that bothered about you taking photos. I was trying to be sneaky but you could tell I was and they never said anything unlike here where's it's like you've committed a crime. The photos were already printed they might as well have given them to us!

The views were so good we picked a good day where it was clear and not too sunny. Didn't realise it's the 3rd tallest tower in the world was the world's tallest free-standing observation and communications towers. CN stands for Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower.

Did you even go to Toronto if you never went up the CN Tower?

Toronto

Day 1 in Toronto! We left Ottawa at around 10 and I think it took us about 4.5 hours? Can't remember but it didn't feel that long as we took 2 pit stops. We stopped quite early as Chris needed his coffee fix then we stopped at a Maccies and of course I got an ice cream.

We drove past this mad thing on the way.

We were staying in an Airbnb in downtown Toronto not far from the CN tower. 1 double bed and a sofa bed. With a cool view.

The white dome is the Roger's Centre. 

Hotel with a rooftop pool. 

Tracy hated how high we were and wouldn't come out on the balcony. If you stood to the far left you could see the CN Tower but I was too scared of dropping my phone so I couldn't get a photo.

It was nice little apartment with a really good view.

We unpacked and made ourselves at home then decided to explore downtown Toronto.

Walking towards the CN Tower.. 

Didn't have a clue what this was when we were in the car driving until we got up close.

The bottom of the CN Tower is Ripley's aquarium.

Toronto Railway Museum

We had no idea what this was with the random trains but it was the Toronto Railway Museum. 

We carried on just wondering round...

After we walked to a supermarket which is a really fun thing to do when you're away cos you can see all the mad food other countries have that you don't have back at home. Chris bought a load of snacks which he didn't end up eating before we left.

We went back and chilled for a bit then went to meet up with Vicky to have Vietnamese Pho.

Tracy took us to the wrong restaurant at first...

Think Amsterdam coffee shop... Cannabis is legal in Canada. Definitely the wrong place as Vicky was bringing Clara.. Then we realised we were at the wrong place and ended up going to the right one...

I forgot to mention no coriander/cilantro which was a nightmare as I was sat there trying to pick it all out! 

Turns out this restaurant is pretty famous. Pho Xe Lua - google it. There was a big massive fight in there a couple of years ago and the videos from it went viral!

Clara is so shy and wouldn't look at the camera for us!

The view was just as good at night! When we got back we tried to watch The Avengers but just ended up falling asleep. The next post if going to be a good one NIAGARA FALLS!
