THE HOLY FRIGGIN’ CN TOWER THAT’S WHERE!!
Yeah. Hell yeah. At 351m off the ground (and 5728km from London!) the restaurant at the top of the tower looks out over the city and Lake Ontario. It doesn’t matter whereabouts you sit, because the WHOLE RESTAURANT REVOLVES. Really slowly though, so people don’t choke on their food. And the food was amazing.
I went with a girl I met at the hostel called Rochelle, who’s from Australia. A crazy Japanese waiter called David took this picture of us:
Main streets of the city centre – Yonge street is the one that carries on into the horizon where you can see another group of buidlings below the clouds.
Our hostel is on the upper side of the square with loads of dark trees on it, (to the bottom left):
That’s the airport. Planes were taking off and landing over the Lake. The airstrip really isn’t that long either – luckily they were all little planes but we did notice a couple of passenger jets parked up. They must have got there somehow. That’s a skilled pilot can land a plane that size on a 1km strip surrounded by water.
We went down to the observation level after – you can see Yonge more clearly here:
This was amazing. Simply called the ‘glass floor’, some genius had the idea of fitting glass panels on the floor instead of regular tiles, so kids can lie on them while their parents take photos and secretly wish the glass would break.
And so fools like me could stand on them and take pictures of their own feet:
that looks scary! Your dad would have passed out!
Of course, I suffer from vertigo these days, so your last photo (looking down through the floor) was stomach-churning! I am thrilled to see you enjoying yourself so much, sweetie! I spent what seemed like hours teaching Gran and Grandad how to view your site and write a comment. Perhaps they’ll get the hang of it by August.
Love,
Dad
