We love you Toronto

After a couple of nights out in Brampton and awesome hangouts with my friend Andie we are now in the incredible city of Toronto. Though we have only been in Toronto for not even half a day I think it's safe to say that we have completely fallen in love with the city. I will be sure to post some photos when we get to a computer so you can try and understand what I mean.

Anyway, we are now in our third hostel of the trip and this one is a million times better than the one we stayed at in Vancouver. 
The whole street that we are staying on is actually owned by the hostel so we actually have our own room in a little house which is kind of cool.

After arriving in the city and finding out that we couldn't check in for an hour or so we decided to explore Toronto in search of some lunch. And of course we found a hugeee shopping centre with a crazy big food court. This food court had everything you could possibly want to eat, which we found in the form of poutine of course (butter chicken poutine as well, can you believe it?).
After our delicious poutine we realised that the Hockey Hall of Fame was just down the road so we decided that shopping could wait for tomorrow.

We were both in pure heaven inside the Hockey Hall of Fame. We were both overwhelmed by an awesome (and cheap) NHL gift store, abundance of jerseys, pucks and old memorabilia. Kristian got the chance to be a goalie (he may have received a puck or two to the body, photos of bruises will come soon) and got to shoot a few goals aswell.

But the definite highlight of the day was the chance to not only see but to touch the incredible NHL Stanley Cup. We sucked it up and paid the $10 for a few photos with the cup, which we are very glad we did now as we found out that the cup is only in the Hall of Fame for 65 days a year, so we were super lucky to have seen it.


  
After spending a fair while in the Hall of Fame it was time to retire back to our room and rest our little tired legs, do some laundry and watch some good ol' Sons of Anarchy.

We have a jam packed new fext days here in Toronto which includes going to a baseball game, visiting Niagra Falls, going up the CN tower, lots of shopping, a brewery tour with Andie and her friends and a whole lot more.


So be sure to check the blog in a couple of days and we will update you all on more of our adventures.

Hope everyone is well 

Lauren & Kristian
