Casa Loma and CN Tower– The beauty and the beast of Toronto

For today we had arranged a Couchsurfing get-together and a few people from the past two days joined in as well. But first I went to visit the CN tower, the tallest building in the western hemisphere and the landmark of Toronto. I had pre-booked my tickets which are open tickets and you can use it within the next 2 months or so of booking. You even get a discount when booking online.

Today, the antenna broadcasts over 30 Toronto television and FM radio signals across Southern Ontario in addition to wireless paging and cellular telephone signals.

Canada – The beginning (Toronto)

The alarm clock showed 02:32 am and I just jolted straight up in my bed because of one minor thought: I didn’t check in. This is nothing major but the consequence is simply that I have to get to the airport a bit earlier to check in. That’s the great thing with just hand luggage; print the boarding pass and no queuing at the airport. Well this time I just forgot it (only 24 hour advance check in) and as I don’t have a printer at home I had no other choice but to change my alarm and take a train earlier.

Once I got to the airport at around 8 am I was glad that I arrived a bit earlier as the queue was massive. I had booked a flight with AirTransat as it was the cheapest (for a reason) at the time and most convenient with the time.

I will tell you a bit more about the research I have done at the end of my trip. At the moment I believe I didn’t do my best this time and that the plan I made is a bit of a gamble, but we will see.
