Lots of public transport again today as we checked out of
the hotel and made the short 20 minute walk to the station. From here we waited
until it was time to board the train to Toronto. We got on and settled in for
the 6 hour trip. Thankfully we were prepared with books and food and with the
complementary wi-fi we didn’t really get bored along the route.
We arrived at Toronto Union Station slightly later than
expected but soon met up with Douglas and Alison (Danny’s godparents) who we’d
be staying with for the next 10 or so days. We then hopped onto a subway train
which took us to a mall where the car was parked. Then it was an hour long car
journey to take us into Kitchener, to the lovely home of Douglas and Alison.

After a tour of the house and the emptying of our backpacks
into our room we then all caught up a bit with one another’s lives before
getting some tea. This was a chilli, baked potato and some salad each, which
was the first proper meal we’d had in a while and was well received.
It is such a nice relief to be in one place for more than a
few days where we can: relax, recharge, clean all our clothes, and make
ourselves at home. We’re both looking forward to a lie-in tomorrow and a long
day of relaxing with the possibility of some sunbathing too.
