We Made it to Canada!


So Paige and I embarked on our 12 hour train mission to Toronto from New York. Being totally truthful, it wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be and time went by really quickly. Obviously there were some annoying people sat near us i.e. young children but we managed to survive the sound of computer games and a couple of Italian men who had their headphones in, whilst playing computer games AND having a very loud conversation all at the same time!! And people say men can't multitask! We made it to Toronto by 8pm where our good friend Andy was waiting to meet us as we are staying with him for our time in Canada. Andy lives in Cabbagetown which I think is the best area name ever. We had a low key first night as we were knackered from the train journey so the following day we went down to the waterfront (which I kept calling the sea but Andy assures me it's a lake). The weather was glorious and there were loads of people out in their boats because of it. In the evening we went to see a Toronto band called Young Empires and they were really great. The venue was cool and they put on a great show. After a few glasses of wine followed by a few smirnoff ices (they had no cider so I panic ordered!), we went to a place called Sneaky Dees where they serve the best nachos ever! The ones pictured above were called the Kind Nachos and they were exactly what our alcohol soaked bodies needed! Was a great introduction into Toronto life!
