When we were booking our flight tickets, we saw that it was possible to have an 8-hour stopover in Toronto on the way from Copenhagen to Los Angeles, which would be just enough time to get to the city center and explore it for a few hours. As the explorers we are, we decided to book it. So off we were to Canada, my 59th country! I know that I probably shouldn’t count Canada, since I haven’t seen anything but the center of Toronto, but I’ve still seen something, so in my book, it counts.
