A Heart-stopping Experience


My cousin and his wife are coming to stay in a couple of weeks. Thought this might be something they would like to try - sightseeing to the extreme!

Some of the greatest views ever can be seen from the CN Tower!

  1. Too right! It is a long way up and the glass floor is quite scary. Interestingly, a few days after doing 'le Tour CN', we went up the Sears tower in Chicago and whilst they mentioned the Eiffel tower, which is much shorter than the Sears, they made no mention of the CN tower which is taller. They also cheated, because the lift (elevator) starts below ground level and they count floors!

  2. My comment seems to have got lost in the web along with much on this site.

  3. Oh my!

    I'm afraid I'd want more than the fantastic views as a reward to do something like that!!

    If your cousin does it, we all want to see the pictures! x

  4. Yes, snafu, Blogger made a mess today, didn''t they!

    Did you click on the link in my post? I thought you and the BTH might like to try that while you are here?!

  5. I am not afraid of heights, Elizabeth - but I think that would be overdoing it. There is a glass floor on the top of the tower, that one can stand on and look all the way down. I can just about manage that! I thought that maybe you, who amazed and thoroughly impressed us by walking on hot coals, might be up for the challenge?

  6. Oops! I wrote le instead of la.
    I am not sure that TBH will want to repeat the experience I will ask her. I certainly would like to. The movie 'Up' was being advertised on the lift doors when we were there two years ago. :)
