Montreal

Montreal has stolen my heart. It was FABULOUS. We did a whole lot of walking (thank goodness for comfy shoes) and sightseeing, and lots of dancing. There are festivals going on all the time in Montreal.

Nick and Dan had three friends that were in Montreal for the week, so we did a lot of things with them. Went walking (no, charging!) up Mount Royale and had a look at the view of the city. Had lots of yummy meals. Met lots of cool people. This is what it's about!

I'm a bit dumb when it comes to using this site, but I'll try to suss out how to upload photos sometime soon.

I made it to Toronto yesterday morning, but am yet to catch up with Steph. I booked into a hostel as there wasn't enough room at Stephs friends house, and it just happens to be one of the best hostels ever! Went to the CN Tower yesterday with a girl in my hostel, which is the tallest tower in the world (although I think it has JUST been surpassed by a building in Dubai). It cost us $55 for a trip up to the viewing platforms and a three course dinner in their revolving restaurant. Yummmm. Not sure what we'll do tonight as it's POURING with rain and there are big claps of thunder. We had planned on seeing an outdoor movie, but it's not quite the weather for that!

Off to Beijing in a few days to meet up with the family and watch the NZ boys kick some butt at the Olympics. We've got a pretty hectic few days of travel to get there, but it should all be worth it in the end. Hurray!!
