One life and One World

Wow those 2 nights in Ottawa went quickly, I had the good fortune to spend my time in a Hostel that is converted from a Fully functioning Prison.

The Jail was used and occupied for 110 years up until the 1970's where I believe it housed several hundred inmates at any one time, all were there with different convictions, it also had it's own death row (on the Top Floor) where numerours people were executed on the grounds. (Walked along there and it is really creepy!!!)

Obviously lots of history associated with the Hostel which holds daily tours to the public/guests, they also claim it is haunted, but alas I never saw anything. (only a couple of zombiefied travellers)
We all get to stay in a converted Jail cells, (with our very own bars), and the whole place has a old prison feel to it, right down from the huge heavy doors which seperate sections and the caste Iron staircase which connects all of the floors.

Taken lots of pictures so far which I should finally be able to upload the best ones on here for those who keep asking for them.

Apart from the Hostel, Ottawa was a good city to explore but 2 days was definetly enough time as apart from the Parliament buildings there is not that much more to do.

Thanks to everyone who has left comments on the Blog so far, and apologies to who I have not replied back yet but so far Internet Access is a mixed bag at different locations, with lots of people waiting to use the PC's (like right now)

Now in Toronto as I type this which is just an enormous city, which I look forward to checking out over the next couple of days.

Cheers
