CN Tower? Nah a lamp post.

Got down as soon as breakie was listed to begin to find a coach party had swallowed up all the seating. Eventually bagsied a spot & proceeded to try all the unhealthy options - had lots of orange juice though. Small matter of getting to the out of town park & ride where the coach departed. Since it was dry went for a walk to the falls where the shuttle bus headed out of town. Promenade was nice and quiet - couldn't decide if it was raining - it was spray. Relief to get the backpack off at the bus stop only to find out the buses didn't start till 10. Coach left at 10.30 so could wait for an hour & probably be ok or walk. Ticket office reckoned it was a 30 minute walk. Reasoned that that was a fat North American speed. We'd be faster but the luggage would balance it out. Passed a taxi & pondered but the die was cast. Would have been a nice walk along the upper rapids but for the backpack. Still made it in the half hour - no stress & coach all sorted to Toronto. On the approaches it was a case of trying to spot the CN Tower first - low clouds and rain didn't help. Not really a valid excuse for mistaking a lamp post for what was formerly the tallest building in the world. .Læs mere
