Tim Hortons

Where is Tim Hortons?

I have won a free coffee and I am in Terminal 3 at Toronto Pearson Airport and I can't find a Tims anywhere!

The flight leaves soon so I daren't leave the gate as I have been called twice now over the speaker!

Oh well looks like I will either have to come back to Canada before the end of September or post the coupon to friends here!

Just my luck.......

Philadelphia Zoo

Popped into the Zoo in Philadelphia - great place.

It was a cool sunny day so not much in the way of crowds - loads of great exhibits and almost all the animals were out in the sun!

The crocs were a bit small but the alligator was huge - guess because it is an American zoo! The polar bears looked smaller than on the telly but good to finally see them.

It is very easy to see all the animals on diaplay, nice low rails and fences so no obstructions for the young or short visitors. Also the the large cats have a fantastic area - to help stimulate them they move them to different enclosures every so often through passage ways above your head - very exciting and a great idea!

Will be ranting about terminal 5 at heathrow soon and putting in a pice on what BA has to offer as you fly with them so stay tuned.
