Canada - Winnipeg 3

These two carriages were outside the market.
 

I don't think these satellite dishes are 'original' do you?
 

In the museum inside Winnipeg station.
 

 

This is a wood burning engine with its characteristic funnel.
 

Canada - Winnipeg 2

We didn't have long in Winnipeg and so just explored the area around the station and this market which is behind the station.
 

 

 

Winnipeg's version of The Shard in London?
 

Canada - Winnipeg

Our first real stop in Winnipeg where the train was "serviced" - i.e. more beer put on board!
 

 

 

This is the River Red in Winnipeg which is a bit larger than the River Red here in Redbourn.
 

Canada - "The Canadian" train

Last look at the reception area of the Fairmont Royal Hotel in Toronto.

Canada - Niagara on the Lake

Very nice afternoon stop at Niagara-on-the-Lake.
 

 

 

Just to the left of this photo you could make out Toronto - mainly by the CN tower.
The problem was that I didn't move the camera a bit to the left. Sorry.
 

Canada - Niagara by air

Some of our group went on a helicopter trip over the falls.
 

 

 

I was reassured by the sign at the bottom - strange thing to put?

One last look back...
 

Leaving Niagara via the very tacky 'Blackpool-like" main street.

Canada - Niagara Falls

I hope you appreciate the number of photos I've left out up to this point!

I don't want you getting bored and falling asleep...

This should give you some idea of our visit to Niagara Falls.

If these videos don't play, please leave a comment to let me know.

Canada 2

We took a trip to Toronto Island...
 

...where there were some excellent gardens.
 

View from  the island.
 

From the boat on the homeward journey.
 

Canada

Just back from Canada.
This is going to be difficult as I have 677 photos to share with you.
Maybe 1 in 10 would be good?
Please stick with me - it's going to be fun!

Here's the first bleary eyed view from our hotel room in Toronto.
 

The Fairmont Royal York Hotel - yes, that little old building.
 

The CN Tower where we had dinner in the revolving restaurant.
 

Views from our dinner table - our hotel is in the centre of this photo.
 

Here we go round with differing views of Toronto.
