Short trip to New York
state.

Even though I went through the complicated online process to get a “non visa” that cost 64 $ we still could not cross the border.
Not valid when entering by car …
Thus same questions again, fingerprint, picture taken and 24 $.
So much for the electronic age.
Anyway.
Now in Alexandria Bay just oposite Boldt Castle. Pic background.

Kingston

Kingston, am Anfang des St. Lorenz Stromes.

Very nice town indeed.

Spend the night in Queen’s In.

In the morning our very first City Trolly Ride “Confederation Tour Trolley”. The guide spoke like a machine gun.

Suresh special: we also visited Queens Universtiy Complex. Huge. At one place she said something about “fluid dynamics” takeing place there and someone laughed. I guess some booze must be involved.

After that we stumbled upon a Multicultural Arts Festival right at the impressive Town Hall.

At home at Himadri and Kishor

After the flight from Vancouver to Toronto we drove directly to Kishor late evening and were warmly welcomed.

We went to Niagara the next day to return the day after and spend some very relaxing days there.

Especially the kids liked the place and the tame black panther.

 

Astrid learned some good exercises (love handles ….-> women stuff)  from Himadri and promised to do a work-out every now and then.

I did some housekeeping and Kishor and I went down memory lane.

The days just past by too quickly.

We really hope they are gonna visit us in CH one day.

Toronto / Mississauga

Wir sind im Prince of Wales Park, Charly haben wir aber nicht gesehen.
Gestern waren wir mit Kishor in einem Safaripark, Elefantenreiten inklusive.
Wir geniessen immer noch die Gastfreundschaft von Himadri und Kishor.
Heute schauen wir uns Toronto an.
