August 23-24 7000 km to Toronto

 

Second leg of the journey Frankfurt to Toronto

We flew out of Warsaw at the crack of dawn heading for Toronto, via Frankfurt, arriving a little befuddled late afternoon – almost 7000km. We gained a bit of time but given we’d been up since 3:30am, my body didn’t register that small benefit!  There was time for an early dinner and then fall into bed and lights out.

Next day I headed off for a haircut and then a slow nature walk (beside the freeway with planes flying overhead!) back to our hotel via lunch at a terrific steak house, Montana’s. I had a humongous Caesar salad and a sizzling Bloody Mary. 

Along the route we found an array of pretties which was quite delightful after the crush of cities and people and a bit of an appetiser for what was to come. Enjoy this little petal sampler.

Buckeye - Ohio?

One that intrigued me and no one at the hotel seemed to know what it was - ‘fruit’ or nut? The ‘fruit’ was hard, maybe not ripe? and its skin was little like quince but with small spikes across its surface. Eventually a FB friend from back in Melbourne identified it as an Ohio Buckeye. 

We fell into bed early desperate for a good night’s sleep ready for yet another early start.

Destination tomorrow Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
