Monday 20th
Early start to the day,  as we are leaving Calgary today and flying to Toronto. Our flight is at 10.30. We make the air port in good time and drop the car off to the rental compsny.  Bob disposes of his hair shampoo as we are taking our smaller cases on board.  We go through customs, Bob is cleared,  but I have forgotten that my wet pack is in my small case. So I have the ladies go through my stuff,  and we have to dispose some of my things.  Conditioner, face cream, night face cream,   clenser, toner, nail polish,  and assorted other things,  as I can only take what can fit in a 1 ltr bag.  Lesson learned. I get through that,  and Bob is waiting patiently for me.  Just as well we were a little early.  We get to the flight gate,  and board  our flight.  Arrived in Toronto, we get a taxi to our place and meet the hosts. The wife is from Bolivia and she shows us the unit.  It is nice and there is space.  After a little rest,  we take a walk to find something for tea. Well we survey whst is about and Tim Hortons  was the best we could find.  I guess being a public holiday limited choices. There were some interesting people in that place. But we eat, and head back to the room,  stopping at a convenience store to get some things for breakfast.  Interesting fact, today was a public holiday because the Canadians celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday.

Tuesday 21st
Today was a rest day. Did venture out and purchased some replacement items, and found a nice Italian Resturant to have for our evening meal.

Wednesday 22nd
We are going to Niagria falls, so we use Uber to take us into Toronto to the appointed pickup place. The bus comes and we go around and pick  up other folks and head of to the falls.  I had no idea that there was an actual city there. There are lots of things there,  like an amusement park, lots of restaurants,  hotels,  shops of all description. We join the line up to get onto the boat, and get issued with raincoats. The boarding station is high above where the boat is, so we descend down the cliff side in a cable car.
Once on the boat, we go to the falls,  and get throughly drenched. There are 3 falls, the American falls,  Bridal veil falls and horseshoe false, which are the biggest ones of the 3. Absolutely amazing. 2.2 million litres per second fall at the horseshoe falls.  On the other side is the United States of America.
There are some beautiful gardens around and lots of tulips coming into bloom. 
We lunch  at the Sheridan, and then boared the bus to see more landmarks around the area. First stop was the whirlpools, and watched the areocar go from one side to the other. The next stop was the largest floral clock, then the smallest chapel in the world,  and finally we have a wine tasting.  A good day was had. 

Thursday 23rd
We go into Toronto and do some sight seeing, take pics at the Nathan Phillip Square. There are some great old building here. We leave Toronto this evening, heading to Munich then on to Paris.  Our flight leaves at 6.25, we get a taxi to the airport,  and do the mandatory stuff. Board or flight,  and leave Canada and glee into the night.  Canada has been a most wonderful place. Like australia, one needs so much time to see this place.  But we have covered a fair chunk of it.
