After the debacle of attempting to get our licenses on Monday, we had another bash at it on Tuesday.
I drove us out to a DriveTest centre (driving on the wrong side of the road !) and we waited for about 1.2 hours in the information queue.
The lady was very nice, but she didn't have any good news for us.
Our Australian licences aren't worth diddly squat.
The fact that we drove to the DriveTest centre (evidence that we CAN drive, wouldn't you think ?) means diddly squat.
So we have to get copies of our driving records from home faxed to the Oz consulate here, then take that back to the DriveTest centre so that when we sit the written (hand written, mind you !) and take the driving test we can go straight to a G2 license.
A G1 license is basically a P platers license, and the G2 would probably be something between a green Ps and your blacks.
I am SO over this crap.
Anyway, so that was yesterday.
Today has been a lot more fun :-)
We went out with the real estate lady to see units for us in downtown Toronto.
Of the 4 units we saw, 1 was good, 1 was ok and 2 were bad.
The good one is located just near the Rogers Centre on the 5th floor, which suited me a little more than the 15th, 18th or 25th floors !!
Midgets like me don't like heights....
After that, we went back to the agents office and started the application.
On the way to lunch after all the fun of that, I rolled my ankle crossing the street.
Fortuntely no cars were coming at the time :-)
So I'm now limping a little bit - only a little bit, as it's not too bad a sprain as these things go.
So far my Canadian trip has not been all roses.
Here's hoping tomorrow's trip to Niagara Falls is at least some improvement....
Of course knowing my luck, I'll end going over in a barrel somehow :-(
