Up the CN tower

Our final weeks in Toronto and we realised that we hadn’t been up the CN Tower! The tower stands 553.33 metres (1,815.4 ft) tall and you can see it from pretty much anywhere in the city. Every time we thought about going up, the weather was really bad or the sky wasn’t clear. We decided to go up just before Sunset to try and get both day and night. It was a really clear day. As it’s off season too we hardly queued. In the summer you can wait for up to two hours to go through security and wait for the lifts.


   


The view is amazing. And I try not to think that I’m standing on a round bulb sticking out of the top of a long thin spike. The lift when you go up is pretty scary as it has glass panels on the floor.


  
You can also go out and walk around the bottom. It’s a bit of a shame for pictures that they have the mesh, but I think I would be on my knees if it wasn't there!


  
There’s a glass walk way where you can see straight down to the ground. I couldn't stand on it, but managed to get this pick.


  
 There was the most stunning sunset, we were so lucky.





 
After the sun went down, the city illuminated with lights. I'm so glad we got to experience both.
