Weekend in Toronto was great fun and more importantly managed to get my Visa sorted (reason for going). Just managed to snag a flight from Birmingham to Toronto on the 10th Oct for a bargainus £179 so that's when I'll be heading out there for my, hopefully, 11+ months stint :)

Leave at 5am, really should pack (but that only takes 10-15min) - more importantly need to gather my tech and make sure everything is charged :P

Yeah the CN tower is pretty cool and as you said some damn good views. That photo was from the hostel I was staying in, nice view over the city from the roof garden :) I looked into the skywalk but it was $250 which is just silly when there as a dirty backpacker :P

If you want some serious snow then you need to head west but if you're happy with a smaller run with some less extreme runs then  Blue Mountain in Ontario isn't bad (considering its only 2.5 hours drive from Toronto).
