DAY 10 Today was such a funny day. on the agenda was the zoo and our medieval times dinner (will explain that later). we figured zoo open at 10 so if we left at 9 we'll be there in pleny time...boy were we wrong! we had to walk to subway catch one then swap to another then were told to go and catch the number 86 bus and that wld take us to the zoo. when we reached the bus station we waited a bit for the bus then when one came the driver told us iot no longer sto...

DAY 7 Today was spent travelling to toronto on the longest bus ride ever, ok it was only 5 hours but it felt like FOREVER! once we got there we headed straight for the hostel and again decided to be the awkward guests we used to hate at the Y. we wanted to upgrade to a private room! we managed to get it for the first night and last 2 nights but the 2nd one we had to switch to a dorm. we chilled out in our room for a bit rolling in luxury, we had a tv and dvd pla...
