day 93+94 peaked early!

Day 93
Definitely got used to the time zone!!
I'm up early and first out the dorm! 
Time for breakfast, before hitting the tram into the Docklands, you only scan your phone/card to pay for transit! Simple.... Tho having no idea how much your paying is a leap of faith.... Into the docks was about 50p no issues with that!!
A quick wander along the front to look at a sailing shipbefore my journey went up! 
Straight up!the CN tower couldn't really be missed could it! 
The view down in the lift was funon the decks the panorama on this clear day was stunning! over town and over lake Ontario!i met Judith a Spanish lady with as much understanding of English as I have of Spanish! But we got on remarkably well taking silly photos for each other.
the glass floor was dizzying!!
Back down she headed off on a bus tour as I headed into Ripley's aquarium, nice enough but aimed for the younger audience! Still some good exhibitsbut I'm feeling done with aquarium, I need a fix of natural!!
To be honest I'm feeling a bit done full stop! 
I wander back down to the docks to see another sailing shipbefore heading off in search of my country souvenir! 
Second shop I find one that fits! 
A Canadian silver dollar from 1958i was tempted by the one silver hammered coin....a Cnut silver penny!!! Of all the places to find one!! But at £450 dollars about £225 I was only mildly tempted.... Also it lacked the country link! 
The silver dollar was considerably cheaper and speaks of the country.
A quick snack then I'm hopping on a tram back to Kensington.
Another guess as you go grocery shop before deciding on an Egyptian takeaway ! A nice curry with revolting salad!! I need the salad but it tasted so bad I passed!!
A British girl named Shannon joined the table I was at with food from the same place.... No salad but way too hot for her! We sat around talking for the rest of the evening.

Day94
Definitely got a cold coming so stay put, just relaxing in the dorm all day. What's the rush? I've added an extra 5 days onto my Toronto stop, it's needed to synch with my next travel! 😉
