Pre-Montreal: Toronto and Lake Muskoka

It is now almost a week since I arrived in Montreal, so these pictures are all coming to you slightly late. However, here are a couple of photos from our exploring Canada as we meandered towards my new city. 

We flew into Toronto, and quickly Laura and I missed being high up in the sky so completed the highest external walk around a building in the world: the CN Tower Edge Walk. The view of Toronto was incredible at 356 metres up, and our ticket included a trip to the very top of the tower so we returned at night fall to see everything once more (literally) in a very different light.







This was my parents' view of us from below! I am informed the camera was on full zoom at this point . . .


Next we moved on to Bracebridge, small town Canada at its best on the edge of Lake Muskoka - you can glimpse it below. To break up our journey we stopped at Sainte Marie among the Hurons, a re-created Jesuit settler village. 

We spent Mum's 50th birthday canoeing across the lake, with lunch on an island and swimming in the fresh water. Really lovely . . . the bites that followed, less so.
