Last year I ended up going into Toronto for the day once a
month. This Saturday I went into Toronto for the first time this year.
I traveled by Greyhound as I usually do and as usual my
first stop once I arrived in Toronto was the Eaton Centre mall. I love the
Eaton Centre, it really is a great mall. I browsed the mall and bought some
stuff (there’ll be a My Haul post about what I bought tomorrow). I also had
lunch in the mall, currently I am a vegetarian and I thought I might struggle
to find something good but honestly I was spoilt for choice, there were a lot
of great options.
Then I stopped by the Toronto sign, I know it’s touristy to
go there every time and yet still I do!
After that I went off to my favourite coffee shop, The Black
Canary comic coffee shop. I got a couple of comics and I had a coffee, as I usually
do I went for a Poison Ivy. Maybe next time I will finally try a different
drink.
Next I went off to try a new museum, the Bata Shoe Museum.
It’s a fascinating mix of fashion, design and social history. I really enjoyed
looking around the interesting and well laid out displays.
When I left it was raining and I didn’t want to go walking
around Toronto in the rain. So I was looking for something to do and about a
block away I found the Gardiner Ceramics Museum. My personal favourite display
was the Mesoamerican exhibits. I was not expecting to do two museums in one day
but they were both interesting.
At this point day was starting to become evening and so I
walked back from Bloor Street to Dundas Street and the Eaton Centre area. I got
some dinner, had a final browse and then went to catch my bus back.
I had a really good day, I have enjoyed Toronto every time I
have visited but I think this one was a particularly good visit.
