Canada Day. With the amount of flags you see at people’s houses and around Canada I was expecting this to be a really busy place today but the city seemed rather quiet. The only people we saw making an effort were the Chinese, and several hundred of them were about to parade the streets. Our plan for the day was to walk around the city to see if anything else was going on apart from a big pissheads convention otherwise known as the Alcoholics Anonymous Convention. We had also planned to watch the fireworks that were on later and see the sunset from the CN Tower and this I wasn’t to sure about. After getting to the 2nd stage of the Eiffel Tower and not enjoying it how on earth was I meant to go nearly twice as high as the top of it. Whether I had been out in the sun too much or I was nervous I still wasn’t feeling too good so I was relieved when the top of the tower was closed due to high winds. I lived to fight another day. So Plan B was to walk down to the harbour and find a pub and see the fireworks from there. Around 10.30pm finally we got to see them and even though the place was very busy the fireworks were a big disappointment and to far away to be appreciated.
