Ok this is real time , i am at home in Toronto . Some people seem to think that i am either still in Europe or possibly somewhere else, just to clarify i am home :) I have been trying to catch up with all the days i promised i would write about . It was really hard to get either time from my drinking,playing and travelling and when i did have time i did not have power , when i had power i had no Internet connection . Should i get myself one of those satellite connections ? possibly
This weekend past no hockey was played , my girlfriend who i have not seen much of since we were both travelling on our own separate vacations , bought me tickets to see Cheech & Chong at Casino Rama. So we went up to her families cottage in Wasaga Beach . Every time i drive in and out of Wasaga i drive by their arena and obviously you all know what goes through my mind LOL. Someday i will take my gear (dreams of running my own tournament there !) and i will skate there but this was not a hockey weekend , it was my birthday and a nice quiet escape from the city ...yeah i need a vacation hahaha.
We drove up to Orillia where Casino Rama is nowhere near the highway like they advertise , found this massive mirage of a building in the middle of nowhere. When i was entering all i could think was that i did not want to gamble ( not very big on gambling ) . This place was basically a huge building with an open ceiling and shit loads of machines , it was like a circus in there. I am sure i saw the bearded lady , couple guys dressed as gymnasts and a few clowns . Basically every weirdo you have ever seen was there , no joke ! We grab a couple drinks upon entering the area where the show was and have nowhere to sit , so i sit on a ledge . I mean c'mon put some chairs for people to drink and eat ! We had seats that were really close and really hard on our ass'!!!! The show was not bad as these guys are icons that i grew up watching but overall i would give the show a 5/10 , they performed alot of skits and Tommy Chong's wife Shelby shared her potty mouth humour with the crowd as she showed off her body in her scantily clad outfits . So eh what can i say not drunk and not exactly happy we leave the disaster they call Casino Rama ....honestly if you can say you like it , then i can say you are addicted to gambling !
On the Sunday morning one of us decided that we wanted to go for a walk on a trail in Collingwood. So we drove there and stopped at a candy store named Crave ...mmmmm......yeah i got enticed into driving up this hill and finding a parking spot , apparently this place with scenic caves and a bridge is the hotspot for tourists ! We did not realize that we had wasted our time on a tourist trap until we walked all the way to where the entrance was ? entrance, so we ask a parking attendant when he tells us it is $20 per person to go walk on this path to see a cave and walk across a bridge !!!! He has the audacity to tell me that " we spent 1.6 million on this , how do you expect us to pay for it " , i guess he thought i was not one of them . Instead of slapping him across the head with my Canadian passport i just walked away . If you are a tourist coming to Canada do not bother wasting your time or money on this !
