Weekend in Ontario’s Capital
Saturday we woke up and got ready to go to the Mandarin for lunch. I never felt so bad after eating at a buffet in my entire life. I also found out that we should have taken the subway there instead of taking my car out of the hotel parking which cost $18.
After lunch we rushed back to the hotel and walked over to the Canon Theatre to go see We Will Rock You. If ever you have the chance to go see that do it but don’t go eat at the Mandarin right before. I felt like I was going to die for the first half of the show. I think it may have been heart burn. The show was wicked.
For supper I made reservations at the CN Tower. It was very nice but I found it a bit loud. We took some pictures and video of our meals. It was good delicious. It better be for > $200. After the 2 and a half hours we spent at the CN Tower and a full day our bed at the Hilton was very much appreciated.
On Sunday we walked up Younge St. and checked out a bunch of the local shops. We made our way to the Royal Ontario Museum and spent a bit of time there. We were disappointed because the dinosaur and Africa exhibits don’t open until later this year and early 2008. I still managed to take a bunch of pictures.
For supper we ate at the Old Spaghetti Factory. We walked there from our hotel but kinda got lost. I knew I should of brought the GPS but ended up leaving it. We got to see the waterfront during our lost journey. The food was good at the spaghetti factory and the service was quick. It took less than an hour and we got to make our 8 pm show at yuk yuk’s.
Allyson Smith was the feature at Yuk Yuk’s. She was pretty funny without having to be super perverted and vulgar. Yuk Yuk’s was just down the street from our hotel. After the show there was a huge lineup outside for one of the neighboring clubs. There were two guys that were way too smammered, they couldn’t even stand.
We finished the night with some drinks and food at Jack Astors on the patio. They had a bunch of patio heaters all over the place and it was way too hot for me. I had to take off my hoodie. It was perfect weather outside too. Not too hot and not too cold. The patio was full of people that had just checked out the Van Halen concert at the Air Canada centre.
Here are some of the pictures.
