We drive into Toronto like we own the place, confident, assured, "Cindy, I had no idea it was this big, 2 million people, and it looks like 20 freeways go through downtown".
We get on one freeway, get off cause we are going in the wrong direction, cross over the top of the freeway and get on thinking we are going in the opposite direction and nope...we are on another freeway
Then we travel through "old"downtown Toronto, 65 feet of motorhome and car, our Magellan GPS tells us we are in Lake Ontario, lot of help it was, almost 2 hours later, we promise God, get us out of here and we'll never come back, I swear
Back on the Queens Expressway we go, never looking back, head us to Niagra Falls
Did you know there are more people from other countries in Toronto, than Canadians?
And they all get along, must be the traffic
I know that those freeways in Toronto are terrible. We were in Toronto last year. There are times when a paper map can be useful, we found one of the easiest ways out was to take one of the long surface streets that paralleled the freeway.
ReplyDeleteWe had a paper map that was shredded when we were done, and we were using our GPS to tell us where the Lake was so we could follow it around the town and out, but it kept telling us we were in the lake. You cannot imagine how you feel cramped and trapped with the car on the back of 40 feet of motorhome, I get nightmares thinking about it, it is the only time Cindy was calming me down during whole trip.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the navigation problems in Toronto! Too bad, because Toronto is a pretty neat city, once you're not driving.
