Our flight wasn't until later in the day so we were late waking up again and had a leisurely breakfast at the hotel. Then it was time for the packing frenzy - trying to fit into the case what we had brought with us plus the various 'extras' we had accumulated along the way. We managed to fit everything in and checked out of the hotel just before the 12m deadline :-)
We were able to leave our luggage stored at the hotel and took another walk down Yonge Street - there was a 'Day Of Freedom' rally going on at Dundas Square - but after a bit it began to rain so we made our way back to the hotel. We stopped off at a supermarket so Margaret could buy herself a paperback for the flight home - we got caught out yet again by the sticker price not being what you pay as sales tax and federal tax is added on (don't understand why they don't just add it to the price - well, I DO understand but it was irritating that they didn't do it!).
Then it was a l-o-n-g wait in the hotel lobby as we had a two hour wait until our taxi transfer arrived. It was quite a flashy car (almost a limo) and we had a trouble-free journey back to the airport where, after we had checked-in, had yet more waiting around and filled the time buying & eating lunch and spending our last few Canadian coins (and almost got caught out yet again by the added sales tax).
Eventually 18:35 rolled around and we were able to board our flight back to the UK. We were in the same seats as on the flight out so had plenty of legroom and after we had eaten tried our best to get some rest as with the time difference, we knew we would be arriving back at Heathrow at 6:30am.
