Toronto to Peterborough - Finally!

Yahoo - Peterborough bound! 

We met up as a group at the Sheraton Toronto Centre at 11am this morning for our trip to Peterborough on our bus.  Looking god in our new shirts don't you think?

The bus took about an hour and a half to get to Peterborough, we checked in to the Super 8 and went off to explore. 

We have received a very warm welcome from check in, at the shops and dinner.  Plenty of s\igns around the town welcoming  the dragons and plenty of pink in the shopping centre.

We met for pre-dinner drinks at the hotel and made our way to the restaurant for dinner - Kelsey's.  Fortunately we had our own room - with 33 of us there was plenty of noise - funny that.

The restaurant as packed with other dragon boaters - Aussies, South Africans, English, - everyone is pretty excited.  Thanks to Julie and Melissa - locals have taken us under their wing  - who shouted us those shots - one each (sadly!) - they were divine.

Tomorrow we get serious - training in the arvo!
