Oh Canada!

This will be a wee diary on our (my good self and my good lady Natalie) time in the great north American country of Canada. Keep looking in to get insight and more importantly photos as its far easier to upload them here than sending them via emails which takes time uploading and then downloading, major pain in the ass. anyway, whithout further ado
Day 1
hi folks, arrived no probs at all, had to do some immigration stuff when we went thru the csutoms stuff but both the people we dealt with were brand new which was great. drew bolland picked us up, natialie recognised him straight away, she says he looks like a bolland, im not exactly sure what that is but he seems cool, he took us round by his house to pick up his wife and then they ran us into toronto centre. our hotel is pretty good, its not as classy as the last place we were in but its fine. we sat about and watched some tv, just the sports news really, then went out a walk to get a adaptor plug for our electrics as neither of us had one. so we got that and now plug our phones intot he laptop to charge then, doubling up is brilliant. anyway, we walked down a bit of yonge street which is the main one and were just off it, round the corner form the gay area of town no less.
This is the view from our hotel room, what your looking at is the sears entrance of the Eaton Centre on Yonge street, well, all the adverts above it.

we came back from our walk about half 8 our time and got some subway peices for dinner, so prob bout 1am our own body clock time. we had a beer in the hotel bar, natalie had the most expensive can of cider ive ever seen and was steaming after it, no food and tiredness a rubbish combo. we missed the first period of the blackhawks ice hockey game but watched the second in the hotel bar and the third and overtime in our room eating our dinner. we got the computer up and running, free internet thru hotel wifi so we email natalies grampa and he phoned our room, which was cool.anyway the blackhawks won in overtime, davie bolland played a part in both the equaliser and the winner, natalie fell asleep while they were one nil down and missed both goals, i woke her up, she cared not a jot, she is now denying that wholesale! after that i plunked it over to the blue jays game but couldnt keep my eyes open. fell asleep bout half 11 so half four your time. trying to sort out any jet jag by knackering myself.
