Toronto The Third -Travel Day


So we are heading back to Toronto for the third time in 8 years. Me and DH. We've booked an AirBnB a 20-30 minute walk from my aunt and uncle's place.



Not many photos today. We flew Glasgow to Gatwick, Gatwick to Toronto with BA. The flights were on time and straight forward enough. DH slept for most of the flight and I watched a couple of movies.

We landed a wee bit early at 2.25 pm. We were off the plane, through the electronic passport scanners, then quickly through the manned immigration check. Our luggage was off the carousel and waiting for us. Through the final security point and then headed to Avis. DH's name was on the Avis preferred board and we collected our Grand Jeep Cherokee. It had 2 little dents on which we pointed out to the booth guy, who incidentally was the rudest person ever, he snapped that DH should circle this on the diagram and sign the page. We were then on our way to the condo by 3.20 pm. We were very impressed.






I gave our host a quick call and he came to meet us and showed us around. The condo is small but perfectly formed with a balcony with a partial lake view. It has everything we'll need for our holiday. There are also plenty of shops and restaurants nearby.





















The view one way



The view towards the lake which I took this morning, it's a bit grey and misty but still hot and clammy.



We changed into fresh clothes as it was so hot. Then my uncle picked us up and we headed to their's for the evening. It was great catching up over a few drinks.

Then it was Home to bed, by which time we'd been on the go for 25 hours!



The last photo, before the flag is my uncle's labradoodles, Buddy and Molly, relaxing in the cool night air on the decking.

We love Toronto.
We discovered it two years ago and just know we will be back. We also love New York and Toronto just seems like a mini New York to us.
Sounds like a fab trip.
