One Day in Toronto

I decided to take a trip into the city since I was there only one full day so I took a public bus from Dixon Road near the Airport to Kipling Station where I grabbed a subway train (free) to Spadina road then I jumped on a Streetcar to King Street, (also free, was I supposed to pay?)

At around -6c it wasnt too bad for walking around and I had my warm hoodie with me. The good thing about wearing a hoodie in a Canadian city is that you actually need one and are not mistaken for a criminal.

I went up the CN Tower to check out the view and it was great, although it was a grey winters day the views of the downtown area were still fantastic. While I was in the lift I asked the lift operator where all the good Toronto bars were and of course from the CN Tower, it wasnt hard for him to point them out.

I found myself about an hour later in a bar called the "Friar and Firkin" where after a few ales I got talking to a local guy called Trevor who interestingly had a script with him. I asked him about it and we got talking about movies and film-making and stuff and before I knew it was there all night and ended up getting rather minced.

Afterward we headed to a club and shortly thereafter I grabbed a taxi back to the Airport hotel.

Upon arrival at the airport I got the munchies and decided to use the vending machine for a bag of chips (crisps), but of course the offending machine decided to jam up and it gave me nothing, at first....

After a few bashes, shoves and kicks I walked away with about 9 packets of Crisps ranging from Salt N Vinegar to BBQ... all in all not a bad score. Thank god all the other guests were sleeping and did not see me retreat to my room with my arms full of free snacks.

See ya T.O.
