*: 10 Days in Toronto

So after the 10 day Hiking tour i head to Toronto to stay with Nathan for 10 days. The weather in Toronto was good most of the time but it was cloudy and a little rainy. It's very muggy and so my skin felt sticky everytime i went somewhere. I didn't go up the CN tower as the clouds were about too much and it costs a bit to get up to the top so i just took photo's from the bottom. The CN tower can wait for another day.

So as Nathan had to work alot when i was there i spent alot of time walking around doing the tourist thing. I was out walking when i went past the Police station and remembered that i had a Victorian Police badge to swap. So in i go and enquire about swaping the badge when 1 very nice policeman (No not hot) comes out and swaps a badge and starts talking to me about Oz and stuff and then another comes out (Not hot either) and starts showing me all his badges that he has for swaping and so i end up taking some off him promising to have some posted to him from OZ. So they start talking to me about all the things there are to do in Toronto and i end with a written list of things to go and see and then they tell me to fill in form and go out as a ride along for a night. So we do just that and a few days later i go out for an afternoon/evening with a Sergeant for a ride along. Unfortunately i got one with no personality and no interest in having a ride along so i did get to do some things but not alot. However it was fun to be out in a police car. We did get to see the SWAT team get called out, though it was a false alarm, conviscated a machete, checked a rigged up ATM for the camera after the electronic reader was removed by a member of the public, and went looking for a stolen handbag that we didn't find.

Anyway in Toronto i caught up with Mark and Trudi who were over from London and Sam who i met at Stampede. It was good to see Mark again as i have not seen him since i left London.

So below are the photo's that i took of Toronto:

The Hippo Bus reflection in the window

I did a Hippo tour while in Toronto, it's a bus that drives around the city and then goes in the water. It was kinda corny but fun.
