Polish banana drinks on a search for skates

The Pez are visiting!
(They may also do a guest-post)

For those of you who don't know bug, that's our (bug & my) parents...

They arrived on Thursday from Sweden without half their luggage, but at least didn't have to sit on the tarmac like Laura did.

Friday we left them to try and get on Hamilton time and deal with the change from low teens to 30+ and humid!

Today we went in search of ice-skates for Da. He had been communicating with several shops while he was still in Aus. He was originally going to try and take public transport, but lumpy pointed out that would take an inordinate amount of time so we all went on a road trip to the outer parts of Toronto!

The first shop (in Newmarket) had many pretty skating dresses for Mama and I to look at, but I think lumpy was a bit bored and we soon went in search of lunch while Da tried on many many pairs of skates...

The options seemed limited to sit-down restaurants or Mr Sub, but then we spied a Polish Deli... Unfortunately the didn't do hot lunches on the weekend (no snitchzel for us), but we did get a salad, some strange sauerkraut croquettes, a light rye loaf, some cheese, some ham and some juice... All the juice had Bananas in it. We sampled Banana & Lemon (which also had pumpkin); Banana, Carrot & Apple; Banana, Apple & Peach; and Banana & Blueberry. The general consensus was too much Banana for us! We ate in the car with the aircon on because it was so hot and humid out.

Da didn't find anything quite right at the first shop, so we then went off to a second place in Willowdale. Lumpy, Mama & I went off to find cold caffeine and ended up in a Turkish (we think) patisserire. They did very nice (extremely sweet iced coffee). We refrained from the sticky pastry things...

Da found some skates which fitted and we all came home for Thai beef salad.
The End.
