Flying the New Zealand flag in Toronto

If you look really hard you can see it!!

I spent a wonderful two days in Toronto. It is the largest city I have ever been in - for a farmgirl like me it was mind bogglingly huge.
Night or day it was hustle bustle!

The view from my room.

And again.

The highlight of my time there was a day tour to The Niagra Falls.
My first sighting of the Falls was from the restaurant we had lunch at...what a backdrop for our meal!

I didn't realise before that The Niagra Falls consists of 2 sets of falls ... the most well known ones are the Canadian Horseshoe Falls on the right in the photo above - and the falls on the left are the American Falls.
After lunch we had a boat trip - great fun!

(Can you make out the tiny looking boat under the falls!)

In spite of the fancy raincoats we got rather wet!

A walk along the path later helped to dry out the jeans and gave some great views.

Looking back towards the American side.

After all the excitement I slept well that night.
The next day I took a city bus tour. Very interesting. Toronto was having a cold spell while I was there (spring had gone awol for a few days) so it was chilly on the tour bus but a hot drink at the comfort stop helped a lot!

Buildings of all shapes and sizes, old and new.
Construction everywhere.

Trying to photograph the long long streets.

And there ends my visit to Toronto... and this post!

Thank you for reading along,

I'll be back soon with more travelling :-)
