Nearly time to go home

This is Martin here.

It is Friday evening here in Toronto and we are getting ready for the trip home. Our flight leaves at 7.00am Saturday morning so it will be an early start as we have to go through customs.

Today Mary took us into Toronto by subway and we had a great look around the town. We went up the CN tower which was the tallest structure in the world and had the tallest observation deck in the world - up until the towers in Dubai were built. There are two levels in the tower, the main deck with restaurant and glass floor and then another deck a further 33 floors up in the main tower. It is the equivalent of 147 floors up. I must admit i nearly pooped my dacks. It is really high up and the windows start at your feet and go out 45 degrees and then up to the roof and it is a small area. I will let the pictures do the talking.

In the last week I have been corrected in my observation of beer here. The main Coors, Millers and Buds are what I said they were. Then I tried a Samuel Adams Boston Lager... and it was good. I've tried the "micro" breweries and they are much better. I take back what I have said.

Now is the time to try to pack our stuff. So much stuff to get into our bags and to keep under our 25 kilos each.

See you all soon.
