Welcome back to Canada - after a week in Cuba we are briefly back in Canada. Now in Toronto, the largest city and the one with the most American feel. A bit of culture shock on our arrival:
- We did our usual "please stamp here" routine at immigration - this was simply ignored
- We walked down to baggage claim and found trolleys required payment - the first such airport in Canada. Do they think this is Oz or the USA?
- The bus driver made announcements of various stops after getting stuck in expressway traffic for an hour - these were completely intelligible in this English (?) speaking country
- We wanted to book a last night treat at the Hilton with views of Lake Ontario. We checked in to a room on the fifth floor with views of the nearest intersection and the construction site next door despite lots of e-mail correspondence prior to the arrival about high floors. Luckily things improved and we got the room changed to 31F and use of the Executive lounge on 32F with some good views both of the lake and the CBD.
