Thursday night we checked into our hotel and went to meet with Jens and Marion. We had a lovely time in their beautiful 3rd floor apartment; it reminded us of the beaches with big open rooms and high ceilings. They are close to the downtown so everything is close for them. The only obstacle is parking as when the old apartments were built people didn't have cars so now there are over 2 million people trying to park in places without parking lots or driveways. Jens said it can sometimes take over 40 minutes to find a spot to park outside of their place. He said that during the summer it was better because a lot of people were away for holidays and there are more spaces freed up. So just when you think parking is bad in Toronto, at least we have some, even if you do have to pay for it!
We spent the rest of the evening catching up as much has happened for them since we last saw them in 2005 while they travelled through North America on their honeymoon. Finn is now 3 years old and baby number 2 is due in October. The girls had a blast playing lego – they have lots of it in Toronto, it appears Hamburg Lego is much more appealing!
It was after midnight when we got home to our hotel so it was quite late for the girls – they fell into bed and were off fast to sleep!
