So, today was our last full day in Toronto. Began it by heading to this Kensington Market all the various tour guides we got hold of have recommended. We trawled through Chinatown first in the freezing cold to get to it. It was alright, nowt special. A handful of shops selling tat and the rest those second-hand/vintage clothes shops that attract people with too many piercings/tattoos/dyed hair/bad fashion sense (doesn’t narrow much down for Toronto then).
Jumped on one of their trams to the Subway and then made the mammoth journey right across the city to Toronto Zoo, which is actually in a place called Scarborough. Thought this would take 10 minutes, but took an eternity, but the journey was worth it. Scarborough here has nothing in common with the one we all know, there’s far more high-rise flats and the like.
What can you say about a visit to a zoo!? List all the animals we saw one by one!? Nah. The zoo had the usual array of gorillas, elephants, snakes and all that, but they did have some of Canada’s very own Grizzly Bears which were quite a sight to see.
We were going to jump on the ferry across to Toronto Island to get the best views of the skyline, but were a bit knackered so dropped into the hotel for a bit (Dog the Bounty Hunter was on again naturally), before heading out again. Bit of a waste of time, the ferries didn’t look like they were running and if they were; it looked as though we would have been the only ones getting on it and heading to the island in complete darkness. No thanks. Had a bit of a dander about and then went back to the hotel...Dog the Bounty Hunter was on again. Dear me. Moving on to them Niagara Falls tomorrow, they’ve got to be better to look at than Dog’s wife with the ridiculous tats.
