Toronto

July 25th to 27th
We really enjoyed our time at Port Elgin. We are very sad to leave John and Angie. I am going to miss them heaps. Especially the bike rides, the "two breakfast" tradition and the secret door to shopping land! Thanks guys for a very memorable visit. Wish we could have stayed for longer!!!

We have now met most of our Canadian cousins and their families. And we have invited them all to visit OZ....so come on guys......who will be first?

"Cousin Pete" and Linda with Jamie, Christian, Katie and Sarah

"Cousin Bob" and Beth with John and Angie

"Cousin Jim" picked us up from Port Elgin and drove us to Toronto. Thanks to Jim we managed a quick visit to Jean and Lindsey in Alliston - more family history I knew little about (and is too difficult to explain)



We are staying at Jim's luxury appartment in Toronto. The bed is beautiful ....and so comfortable.


OK.....actually this pic is not really at Jim's place.......It is at Casa Loma, a beautiful old castle in Toronto. Jim was just dreaming.......

A short walk after dinner
Jim cooked us a delicious breakfast yesterday and today Anna is cooking french toast with strawberries, raspberries and maple syrup. I am looking forward to this!!! Particularly as it is 10am and I have been us since 6.30!
We are getting very spoilt here!

We leave this afternoon and will be back in Adelaide by Friday morning.

NOT looking forward to trying to fit all my souvenirs in the backpack
NOT looking forward to the plane flight
NOT looking forward to cold weather
NOT looking forward to going back to work

BUT really looking forward to catching up with family and friends. I have missed you all. (Mike has too....but he won't admit it)

And best of all........BIG cuddles with Turtle, Olly and EJ.......can't wait!!

To those we have met along our journey - don't forget us. Keep in touch via email. We would love to hear from you.

So until next time.......KELLY AND COE.......over and out......
