Continuing the story from yesterday. Traffic: bad. Flights? Iffy.

I dumped the car and ran to the terminal to see if I could still get onto my flight. Nope. But, the next flight was in an hour. All good except that I was connecting in Toronto. I might just be able to make it if I get off the plane first and ran.

Nope.

And then, my luggage got lost. Balls.

Having said that, the Westjet people were really very good; the desk lady changed my flights at no charge and the baggage guy found my case (on the next flight from Calgary for some reason) and gave me a voucher for Tim Horton's until the plane got in. While waiting I went and got a room at the hotel attached to Toronto airport as I was pretty tired by then and just wanted some sleep and a shower before the 7am flight. Unfortunately the hotel at the airport was a Sheraton and the Sheraton management seem to have a policy of gouging for any and everything. Bah.

Tim Horton's: Canadian institution. And they do maple syrup flavoured doughnuts. And it's cheap. Ace.

By 12:30 I'd eaten my food, found my bag, got to the hotel and crashed out. Phew.

7:30 flight, quick hop to Montreal, picked up the hire car, headed west for a bit, found these lovely colours, back into Montreal, wandering about, meeting up with people, plans made for tomorrow and then it's time for the trip home...
