Toronto (part3)---> Trekking to Casa Loma

Essential items for backpackers? Map, checked. A water bottle filled to the brim, checked. A comfy pair of walking shoes, hmmmm, checked. The willingness to walk that extra mile, remain to be seen. Our next stop in the list of 'must see' sights is Casa Loma, an Edwardian era castle in Toronto. On the map, Casa Loma seemed to be just a stone throw's distance away. I guess we should have checked the scale on the map. To sum it up, we did plenty of walking. But as the pictures below tell us, the walking was worth it.






Memorials and sculptures were erected on road dividers; a brilliant use of space in the city of Toronto which is increasingly threatened by overcrowding.





Toronto University, alot similar to SMU back home. It's a university with its campus built on the city.


Yes, the towering Edwardian architecture at the background is Casa Loma. After walking for close to an hour, we were STILL nowhere near its compound!
