Toronto Canada

DAY 6
Before I begin the days adventures I would just like to point something out... In America they have what is called gratuity which is tipping and at the bottom of the reciept it tells you the recommend percentage and majority of the time it is between 15% and 20% which is huge ... Man they make a shit load on tips! Oh and everything you buy you have to add the tax . For example if it is $2 .00 then it would actually cost $2.35 weird huh!

Ok so today we went on a guided tour of the city and learnt a little bit of history about Toronto .. If you would call it history as everything is relatively new lol! It is nothing like purr Toronto lol. Saw the CN tower which at one point was the tallest free standing tower in the world, the longest street in the world is located in Toronto and is called Yonge street, ummm what else can I remember?? Oh the man who developed the time zones came from a university in Toronto.. Can't remember his name lol. The population was like 2 and a half million. The university was awesome, it looked like Hogwarts from Harry Potter :). 

After the tour we went to the Eaton Centre which is a massive shopping centre... I think I counted in total 15 shoe shops!! I think we managed to cover them all :) Everything was reasonably priced except for the big brands like coach, guess ect... After 4 hours of shopping we went back to the hotel for a nap. We woke up at about 7:30 and it was a struggle to get up. Went back to the hard rock cafe and had dinner again :) after dinner we headed to the movies to see eclipse .. We could find a gold class cinema when searching online so we settled for an IMAX cinema but after we brought our tickets we realized they had one it was just called the VIP lounge! OMG Jacob on a screen that big was just criminal lol! Loved the movie, can't wait for the next one :) favorite scene was my favorite chapter in the book .... In the tent, poor Edward lol... Great way to end the day :) missing home lots but keeping myself busy and wearing my self out xx Luv yas
