Taking the Isle of Skye to new heights

**Sheep In Wolf's Clothing** · 30th October 07, 02:16 PM

Hey I saw the Holiday Inn on King St in your pictures; it's my favorite hotel in the T. It's been a while since I've got to stay downtown while visiting that wonderful city. My 30 birthday is next year, so I am starting to think that a trip to the T. is in order to celebrate.
Thanks for sparking the imagination with your post of your wonderful pictures!

Great views though!

Funny thing about the glass floor, when I was going to go over there there was a wee boy jumping up and down on it, and the man who works there said it was 6" thick glass.
On the way down the in the elevator the elevator operator said it was only 2.5" thick

I couldn't care if it was 6' thick and they do claim it is elephant proof!

How would they get an elephant in the lifts (elevators) to find out?

It was bad enough walking across stuff like that at the Castle of William the Conqueror in Falaise, Normandy and the drop underneath was only 20'

It's probably thicker than the floors of those high speed lifts but you can't see underneath!

Beautiful pics of the city, but there is no way in hell you would catch me up there!

No...really...it's fantastic. No matter what kind of fears of heights you might have, it's worth overcoming them just to go up there.

Best

I've said it before, McMurdo: I'm convinced one of your goals here at Xmarks is to make me homesick...

Awesome pictures! Toronto rules...

I was thinking shortcomings but we'll stick with your answer.

Well at least you're closer to Toronto now, I do have about 60 or so pictures from today, who knows I might have to do a walking tour of Toronto one day soon just for you.
