Toronto - Vancouver

After waking early to the surreal news about Trump we pack and head to the airport. Toronto has definitely been one of the highlights of our East Coast adventure and the boys were sad to leave the basement, especially Freddy who had to leave behind his 'base'. (See below)


Airport selfie.

Thanks to the fab Paola who took this pic and helped us at check in. 



More wonderful people on our flight. I chatted loads to a German lady next to me called Hildegard (hope the spellings correct). She had some great stories about her life and travel with her late husband.

'There maybe 50 ways to leave your lover but there's only 8 ways off this plane!'
The flight crew were like a stand up routine, brilliant, made up for the lack of TV.

Flying over the Rockies- amazing!


Say cheese.

Sky train.

Our digs for next 3 nights, a cosy motorhome.

Our flight took just over 5 hours but Vancouver is 3 hours behind. It's only 8pm and we are shattered. It was almost dark and very foggy as we bused it through Vancouver one thing we noticed was the huge amount of people who seemed to be living rough. Until tomorrow........

Fun and new friends!

Today we met lovely Patricia and Kevin ( friends if Sheila and David) and were treated to a delicious lunch at the Montana Steak House.


After a tasty lunch we explored the Bass Pro Shop, every boys dream store!

Freddy's planning to head to Vancouver on this.


Checking out the animals.



Canadian cowboys!

Target practice.


Mark couldn't resist!

Elliot loved the fish tanks- William, you would love this place, never seen so many fishing rods.

What a fab day with new friends. Thank you so much Patricia and Kevin for your company and generosity today. More fab memories for us that we will treasure 
XxXx

Fantasy Fair Fun!

Boys choice today so after a lazy morning in the basement we head to Woodbine Mall with indoor funfair. An afternoon of great fun, Freddy would have gone on forever!
The moving Dino's were fab too.


Spinney coaster, no thanks.

Loving it!

Feeling a little ill.

Woo hoo!
Chilling.
Ferris wheel selfish.

Ahhh, the carousel.

Where's Freddy?

XD theatre experience. Freddy feeling the wind on the simulated roller coaster ride.

Let's do this!
Farewell Fantasy Fair.
Freddy says 'it was really cool, my favourite ride was the Drop and Hop!'
Elliot's says 'it was really awesome, my favourite ride was the bumper cars.'
I say 'I am not meant to spin round really fast!'
