Last weekend, Hamilton and I visited a pretty popular tourist attraction here in Toronto, which for some reason (that I can currently see) doesn't even make the top 30 list on Trip Advisor... Casa Loma. A wealthy man named Pellatt commissioned Casa Loma, which is a huge, historic house museum, built between 1911 and 1914. He … Continue reading A Casa Loma Christmas
In what now seems to be my favourite type of post to write, here is another 'London From Above'. This time, it's 'Roof East'. It's a bit different from Tower Bridge/St Paul's Cathedral, well I say a bit different, almost polar opposite aside from the fact that it is up high because it isn't historical … Continue reading ROOF EAST: LONDON FROM ABOVE
When I left London for Toronto earlier this year, without meaning to, my life become a series of viewing the cityscape from various buildings. I’ve already mentioned the Shard and St Paul’s Cathedral but within a period of a few weeks, I saw many more. MONUMENT Another one of these, was Monument. The Monument was … Continue reading MONUMENT / TOWER BRIDGE: LONDON FROM ABOVE
I'm assuming it's highly likely you've seen Coppa Club's Igloos all over your Instagram and Pinterest already, so sorry if any mention of them is now considered spam. In case you haven't heard about/seen them - they're pretty nice, right? If you're looking for somewhere unique and a bit kooky to eat in London, then … Continue reading COPPA CLUB RIVERSIDE IGLOOS, LONDON (REVIEW)
When it comes for paying for luggage on a short haul flight, unless I'm going to the arctic, I avoid it like the plague. Yes, airlines are getting more and more restrictive but I like the challenge. Of course, if you're going for an extended period of time, yes you will need more clothing etc … Continue reading MY HAND LUGGAGE ESSENTIALS
On what has actually turned out to be the one of the cloudiest days of this month, we hopped on a ferry over to Toronto Island to explore. I'd been to Vancouver Island but never Toronto Islands and aside from knowing that they were in no way meant to be the same, knew nothing about … Continue reading VISITING TORONTO ISLAND | LIVING IN CANADA
Boston I’ve been to Chicago, New York, Washington DC, Nashville… Basically a bunch of US cities in the east, but until this road trip I had never made it to Boston. It’s been on my list for a while so I was very excited to finally go. This may seem like a bit of a … Continue reading NEW ENGLAND AUTUMN ROAD TRIP HIGHLIGHTS
The last post ended with us leaving Boston, on the way to our next stop - Old Orchard Beach. Why Old Orchard Beach? Well, as I mentioned previously, where we ended up staying was picked mostly on a cost basis. Meaning the lower the cost, the more likely it would be that we would stay … Continue reading BOSTON TO TORONTO| AUTUMN ROAD TRIP
On our second day, we woke up in Lenox and did the short drive into Boston (info on the first leg of our journey here). When we looked at accommodation in Boston, we were blown away - it's so, so bloody expensive. As in, hundreds of pounds a night. A NIGHT. I understand in cities, … Continue reading BOSTON | AUTUMN ROAD TRIP
A week after Hamilton and I moved to Toronto, we made the bold move to leave Toronto. Not because we didn't love it here (we did/still do) but there were bigger plans afoot for the week, an entire season, in fact... Autumn. AKA fall. Ok yeh it was a bit random but it made sense … Continue reading TORONTO TO BOSTON | AUTUMN ROAD TRIP
