After German manner, four hours before departure at the airport been … the flight I then somehow still almost missed. Attentive readers will now immediately notice: Time management is in my blood!
11:50 noon, but now in Canadian time: Arrival at Pearson International Airport, Toronto (Ontario)
I had made it onto the plane after all. Unfortunately, my travel partner could not claim that: Due to minimal problems at the check-in, she was not allowed on board!

A few impressions I have gathered in Canada so far

Wait a minute, who stole my maple syrup?!
