Toronto

So we are still stuck in Toronto, doing a fat bunch of not a lot.
After Will got better on Friday, I started to come down with
the same thing. So it wasn't the Vietnamese food, it was a bug.
I wasn't as bad as him, although I still felt majorly dodgy up
until yesterday.

Friday and today have been bank holidays. Thus no post.
Thus no paperwork. We're hoping it'll come tomorrow. If
it doesn't come soon, we'll be in big trouble.

We're well and truly sick of waiting.

We met up with Dave for lunch today, he took us out
for Chinese food. After, Will and I wandered around
some wicked little shops, although it was all a bit hippy.

Other things we did. Umm. Oh, on Saturday we found a
public baths to have showers. Which turned out to be free.
So Will and I said, right, see you in half an hour, and went
into our respective rooms. Only, when I got into mine, it was
literally PUBLIC BATHS. Now I'm not exactly a prude. But
everyone was, obviously, in bikinis and swimming costumes
and there were CHILDREN. I wasn't about to get naked!

It might even be illegal! I needed by bikini. So, 25 seconds
after walking in, I walked back out again. I figured Will would
do the same once he realised there were no cubicles. So I went
and waited outside in the COLD for him to come back out.
Which he finally did, 40 minutes later, clean and showered.

Needless to say, he was not at all happy with my new found
prudish nature. We had to walk all the way back to the RV
for my bikini. I will not be forgetting that next time we use
public baths for showers.

Yesterday we did our laundry and got talking to a bunch of
different people, all interested in our story after seeing our
Californian registration plate.

One man thought his dog was a dingo. A bunch of trendy
art-gallery boys invited us in for showers. Then they invited
us to a party next weekend. Hopefully we won't be in this city
by then!

Initially, we though Toronto was full of crazys. We've never
attracted so much attention from people just walking past us.
But it turns out everyone is just real friendly.

I like Toronto a lot, and it's a real shame we can't be here
under different circumstances. ie. wanting to be here.

Everyone rides around on bikes, and the parks are full of
people playing football. I could live here, if it wasn't so damned
cold.
