CN Tower plus Ripleys Aquarium - 230908

When you travel in a group you don't get the same amount of time to get the photos up on the blog, but tonight might be a night for a few entries. This first one goes out with photos from CN tower, the view up there is amazing and you see the Toronto Islands very well. Also when you look down the glassfloor you can see the roof of Ripleys Aquarium, The train "museum". Other views are Roger's Center, The Blue Jays were playing at home but the roof wasn't open, unless not when we were at CN Tower. But let's start off with some cool artwork from the Union Station, it's made by indigenous artists, The scuplture on the wall of the Roger's Center and some streetart.

Down in the giftshop there's one male and one female mountie where you can take your pic if you like, but I'll spare you those photos and just put the sculptures up.

When you get out you can of course take your photo at the CN Tower-sign, there is more to look around at.

And now for Ripley's Aquarium. Everyone roamed around in their own pace. I was happy as I finally got a fullsize photo of the wall of anemons. The Octopussy was very much awake this time. And just to mention, the colourful tickets were with quiz-questions. We were five going, but two got the same colour on their ticket. Just enjoy the photos!

So after "kicking" the others off att College Subway station I went on so I could go meet Jackie and her daughter Hannah at Tango Café in Leslieville. I also got to see their house which was a truly lovely place.

Two Duesers day at Toronto Zoo

The early early Wednesday morning promised good weather

Erica and me met up at Kennedy Subway/Bus station to take the bus out to the Zoo, on the way we saw this commercial-ad for Alias Grace

At the zoo I zoomed in on Sweden just to show.

A carousel for the kids, but it wasn't running in the middle of the week, so weren't the cafés so it was good we had brought plenty of water.

Entering Discovery zone we saw this beautiful woodworks.

     

Every now and again there were these colourful resting chairs.

One of the "baby" pandas and the mother. They are twins and born in 2015, the first ones born in Canada

                                                                                                           

And Daddy Panda

 

The three musketeers had a look at the Pandas too

  

Duck means duck, duck doesn't mean duck

Frogs hiding in plain sight

BeaverTails, not that we could try it

  

Just like Fraser and Victoria in "Victoria's Secret" we were looking at the polarbears

  

Humphrey's a three years old who still likes to play around

    

His five years old brother Hudson came out for feeding time

 

Mother Aurora or aunt Nikita is resting, they're 16 years old twins

Two artic wolves are living at the Zoo, like many other animals they were seeking the shade this day                                                                               

         

  

              

Some different kinds of birds

                 

                                                                                                                                                                                 

                                                                                                                                       

                                                                    

Duesers: If Fraser and Ray Kowalski were flying onto the Tundra I believe this is what their camp would have been and the bed on the right would be Ray K's as it's much more messier than the left side in the tent.

   

                                          

And for their African adventure

     

                                                                                               

Reindeer and Inukshuk        

                                                                                                    

                                                                                                                             

Some cool details

 

The lions sleeps in the shade

    

Baboons

Zebras

Cheetahs

And again so many beautiful plants

  

                                                                                                                       

                                                                                                                                        

Rhinos and Hippos

And of course there were giraffes too

  

And lemurs, who can resist these little cuties?

  

Fishes

Meerkats

And more cuties, the penguins

  

  

  

We ended the lovely afternoon with dinner at Jack Astor's. Of course I had to have that ridicolous small brownie again. And not to get bored we played Hangman - Canadian TV and Movies

  

And again in the subway around Bay there were this HUGE Alias Grace ad

And another ad in lovely colours
