Well we've made it Toronto and are now a week into our World tour!
Appologies for the very short brief blog entry in new york, but internet was expensive and i only had 10mins to write it and check all me emails! Now i have just under an hour so brance your self for a massive blog entry! Are you ready?
Our final nite in New York was spent taking pictures in Times Square and then we headed to bed for an early nite as we had to be at the train station the following morning at 6.15am to catch our 7.15am train! and to make matters worse the clocks were goin forward that night meaning that we would lose an hours sleep! We set our alarms for the unslightly time of 5.30am (4.30am old time ouch!) got up and checked out of our hostel by 6, leaving us with not much time to get to the station!
We managed to get to the subway and waited for the train, but as one appeared in our tired state we suddenly questioned whether it was the right one and so asked some guy who informed us we were on the wrong platform! I wasn't entirely sure he was right either so asked a guard who then told us we should have got on the train that had just pulled away from the platform, we were not happy!
Finally after waiting a further 10mins another train appeared and wee hopped on, we made it to the station in time and then were told we just had to wait til 15mins before the train left before we knew which platform it was on and then we could get on it!
At 7.15 we were on the train (which was really nice with massive seats that were really comfy and loads of legroom :D, better than 1st class trains back home! and this was only economy :D) and we began our 12hr train journey to Toronto!
We spent most of the journey, eating, sleeping, reading and taking numerous photos of the scenery. There were quite a few frozen lakes and waterfalls and even a hugh river with massive ice chunks floating down it!
We stopped at the canadian border for over an hour and then finally reached Tornoto around 7.30pm had a 15min walk to our hostel and then headed to bed!
So far we have filled our days with shopping, just wondering round the city and chillaxing a bit when it rained yesterday afternoon. We have also visited china town and kensington market :).We discovers a fresh and wild opposite the hostel where we have been enjoying breakfast of fresh fruit and chocolate milk :D.Last night we managed to do some washing! Yay clean clothes :D and This morning we went up the CN Tower where we got some amaing views over the city :D and got to stand on the glass floor and look down, its only 1122ft above the ground! tho we couldnt go to the very top as it is extremely windy today :( tho we ahve had lovely blue skies and a bit of sun:D
We are hoping to do a day trip to Niagra falls sometime in the next few days, which i'm really looking forward to.
I shall finish for now as it is turning into an essay of a entry! sorry! will try and update again soon!
