Toronto

A very uneasy night for me ended at 05:30 to get on a 11km loop trail. My sleeping bag has the same comfort temperature as Julia's but is designed for an integrated sleeping pad which mine isn't fitted for and still leaves some open spots. So I was turning around all night trying to get warm.
When we arrived at the trailhead we found a poster warning of wolf activity in this area 🐺. With the headlamps we hit the trail in the hope of finding any kind of wildlife (I already imagined the headline: "Two hikers killed by wolves ignoring signs" 😬). Even though it said that wildlife spottings are very likely we didn't see anything, again. Even though it's mating season for the moose... Well, we have some more parks left to encounter them. And the views are absolutely gorgeous, with or without wildlife.

After another short hike to a lookout we hit the road again to Toronto. It was just a two hour drive and we went straight to the information centre. Surprisingly there wasn't too much to see if you're not that interested in museums, so we decided to go up the CN Tower.
The tower was a fun experience but a little overpriced, especially as the glass floor was closed due to renovation. It was still a nice way to get a quick overview over the city. From up there we saw a little park right below which turned out to be a cute railway museum. We walked through downtown with little plan and ended up at a food court where I had a Toronto speciality called Peameal Bacon Sandwich, a soft bun with smoked ham and a maple mustard. It was really good and had a better bread to topping ratio than the Schwartz's Deli in Montreal 😁
For the end of our tour in Toronto we got us some beavertail, a sweet fried bread with topping. We're heading back to Ruedi tomorrow, so we made some miles in that direction and stayed at a Travelodge near the highway.Read more
