Here we are in Canada! We flew into Toronto expecting cold hard winds and 8C, but instead found brilliant blue skies, fluffy clouds and 25C! We checked into our downtown hotel (with pool, of course) and mum went off to her conference downstairs. After a 2hr swim, dad took us off to see the town. Well, that was mistake No1..... We walked and walked and really didn't find anything interesting at all. There were very few parks and open spaces, even though we saw lots of high rise apartments, so we couldn't understand where all the city kids played. Toronto really is strange, most of the shops are below street level in galleries and malls that connect to the Metro system. We thought that might be a good idea in winter but it makes for a really boring city. Thats why we aren't showing any photographs!
On Sunday, we took the 5hr. train from Toronto along the St Lawrence waterway to Montreal, the capital of Quebec.

I've only realised now that this post wasn't up. So if you're reading this anytime around the 17 June we will be in Atlanta, Georgia, with a Hurricane approaching......
Here is what we've been up to!
