Toronto, Ontario, Canada
We have arrived in Toronto... and it a chilling -2 degrees... the snow hasn’t fallen yet, but the wind chill factor is closer to -8... there is a hint that’s it’s going to snow.... 
caught the train into the city... why oh why melbourne are you so far behind the times... it is quick efficient and economical....
After we arrive the first thing is to find dinner... Ken had that settled with a trip to china town... he has been hanging for a real Chinese meal now for a week... so that’s where we head... it’s cold out there... but jackets beanies gloves and scarf keep us warm... 
dinner was good... it sated the tummy and we had some small flurry on the way home but nothing to much... the forcast is for tomorrow... 
11/12/17
Well it definitely is looking cold out there still no snow in the morning but the wind has dropped and everything is still...
We jump on the hop on off bus tour and head to our first stop the totronto Christmas market...
You can imaging it has everything Christmas... big tree in the middle...
We get a hot cup of chocolate from a local chocolatiare to keep us warm... still now snow... but the ground is sprinkled with salt in preparation...
Back on the bus and into town... the biggest shopping centre in Canada... used to be the world but isn’t anymore... it spans 4 city block and is open 24/7 we only walked a quarter of it... it is huge... 
back on the bus...
The snow starts to fall... small flurry at first and then bigger and bigger... by the time we head out for dinner there is a dusting of snow on everything... it makes it all so pretty... 
out to china town for dinner and then back home to rest... more snow expected overnight and a big fall tomorrow... it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas... 
love to all
Xx

It looks so cold and I have never seen you in a beanie before Nick so that says something. The snow really is pretty. Did it feel colder before or after it fell and did it melt as soon as it landed on you?
