Since I was already fed up with tourist attractions I decided to work off some of the calories which had added up to a good 2 kg plus of body weight. A bike rental at the local bike shop would have cost me nice 40 bucks for the day, that’s why I asked at the hostel reception if the bikes in the backyards of the house are for rental. Apparently, there didn’t ask too many people before because I got a bike (after only 2 hours of waiting) for ridiculous 10 Dollars (per day!!! 🙂 ).
On Tuesday we finally went to the whitewater rafting on the Niagara River.

On Saturday I finally rented a bike (15 Dollars the first hour, the next hours cost 3 Dollars each) and was headed to the Don Valley. At least that was the plan.
(more…)…I just ran 8ks and actually enjoyed it!!!!
Thanks to my boys, Matthias, Barry and the guy from the bookstore who always make me feel special 🙂 And a very special thanks to Mario who asked me this afternoon when I told him about running “Why don’t you just run an hour?” I looked at him and said “Because I already torture myself with 30 minutes”. And then I just did it. The first 8 minutes I was absolutely dying: every single muscle in both feet hurt like hell. After 10 minutes I couldn’t run anymore and I started walking for the next two minutes. Then I started running again and only stopped about 38 minutes later in absolutely fantastic shape because I got faster the longer I ran.
Tomorrow I’m going to have dinner with Petra and replace all the lost calories and on Thursday I’ll see if I can do the same miracle again 🙂
