Saturday
Early morning trip. Investigating the houses, I could see from my
hotel window. Funny how the tall, tall buildings live side by side
with very small buildings. Also seeing the harbour. Back to the hotel
and pay the bill. And then moving on.
Royal Ontario Museum, also called ROM. Egyptians. A copy of a small
burial chamber
really impresses me. Chinese. Dinosaurs. Yummy! Back to
the harbor, to take a trip on a boat. Boy, does our guide know some
tall tales of the town!
-
The one about the gynecologist and the psychologist getting married
and buying a boat, called Heads n Tails.
-
The one about Babe Ruth hitting his very first homerun right over there
in 1914, losing the ball in Lake Ontario - and it still hasn't been found...
-
The house that looks like gold. And actually is gold. The bank
building the house bought a lot of cheap gold. Dusted the windows with
gold. Sold the rest of the gold later at a high price. And actually
got a profit. Apart from the dwellers not needing drapes when the sun
shines.
-
The beach, where you can get a tan naked, but have to put on clothes,
if you go for a swim!
-
And the
CN Tower.
Very safe building - 2000 workers, no injuries. But
the number of injuries on the freeway next to the rising tower rose
to 4 times what is was.
-
And over there they play dual pool: a pool table floating in a swimming
pool.
Hurrying back to the hotel. Getting back to the airport. Fumbling the
arrival, but in the end finding the right plane, and getting in there.
This time on
business class.
Oh joy! Seats that can do everything -
including getting almost like a bed! A personal screen, so you
can watch the movie you choose. Champaign, because you must
be really thirsty after getting on board. (And to impress those going
by to get to economy class...) A gift: a small bag with tooth brush,
lip balm and other stuff like that. A menu! Socks, if those you are
wearing smell too much, so you can safely take off your shoes while you
sleep. All cutlery, plates and glasses not made out of plastic. And even
table cloth...
And finally: home. Actually it's Sunday morning now. But what the hey.
This has been a good trip, both the business part and the pleasure part.
