Bonjour, Bonjour,
How is everyone one? We are all well here in Canada. Last time I put a journal up we were in Montreal. The show we saw there was absolutely brilliant. (Please see Helens review last journal) After this we went back home through Athens and spent a night at Jane Anns sisters place.
I did my show two more times. I think it got a little better. You’ll have to ask Helen cos she had to watch it two more times aswell.
We went to Niagra Falls on Sunday. It was quite hot. Mum you will be very pleased to hear that we went on the ‘Maid of the Mist’ boatride. We all got big blue ponchos to wear. These ponchos were extremely necessary. As we approached the Horseshoe Falls a torrent of water fell on us, quite like rain. I looked at the falls through rain streaked glasses and clouds of moisture and thought of the wonder of nature. Despite the wetness the boat ride was pretty fun.
Apart from the Falls the Niagra region has a lot of pretty tacky tourist attractions which are awesome. We went through a lot of the shops and went through ‘The Haunted Castle’, “Ripleys Moving Theatre’ and ‘Louis Tassauds Wax Museum’. The haunted castle was my personal favorite. It was dark and the horror it unleashed nicely varied.
The rest of Sunday we spent in Niagra-On-The-Lake which is a quaint little town with lots of Wineries. I was a little disappointed because most of these places charged for tastings or gave you a limit of free ones. I was told it has to do with tax… grrrrr.
On Monday we went to Toronto. We went to a train station that was closed and so had to catch a bus to a different train station. Then we caught the slowest train in human history to Toronto. Once in Toronto I wasn’t sure how to get to our hostel so we got in a taxi with a guy who had NO idea where we wanted to go. So we went in one direction and then did a big U-turn in another direction. When we got to our hostel I had an argument with him regarding payment.
So, with our holiday off to a flying start we went off to explore the town. It is pretty cool. In Toronto we did lots of shopping (I bought a pair of sneakers that ha Miss Piggy on them). We also went to the Art Gallery of Ontario and saw an Andy Warhol exhibition which was small but quite good. We also went to see ‘Spamalot’ which was written by Eric Idle and is based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was fantastic. (Helen will do a review after this entry). We had the cheapest seats in the house and were in the very back row on stools. It was awesome though. You could see everything!
Ok. Hope everyone is doing well. Oh, Darren Hayes from Savage Garden has just wed his gay lover in the UK. I always knew.
