An odyssey to the west

Toronto (part4)---> Casa Loma

An ancient castle in a bustling modern city is a queer sight indeed. Casa Loma is a historical site rich in both heritage and significance to the Canadians, capturing tourists with its magnificence and majesty. Nestled on a hill-top, the castle conjured up all kinds of imagination possible for a fantasy novel fanatic. Needless to say, the shutters were clicking away furiously the moment we arrived at this monumental piece of architecture.




A long flight of steps leading up the hill top. The toll of capturing the beauty of Casa Loma is to obviously perspire heavily and feel short of breath. Small price I guess?







Sharp observations will tell you that the pictures we took only captured the compounds and exterior of the castle. This is because by the time we reached Casa Loma, it was already closed for public admission. Agonies of agony!





Without even realising that we might miss the bus back home, we have spent nearly all our time in Toronto taking several megabytes' worth of pictures. Not wanting to be stranded in Toronto for the night, we immediately got packing and began the long trek back to rendezvous with the rest of the exchange students.
