Hi all....the falls are amazing, but from the Canadian side. There is a god awful street called 'Clifton Hill'...it is a neon monstrosity for kids really, but spoilt what is the single most beautiful thing I have seen. When did the falls stop becoming enough for people? That is all there is in Niagara though, I have never seen so many boarded up buildings in all my life! It used to be an industrial town and everything closed so people moved out. It is a really *&^ hole i tell u!
Anyway i spent this motrning with the hostel owner helping here cancel her credit card as one lad staying there had run off with it and booked a car to Chicago! More fool her though as she added him as a joint owner of said card with a view to him payting here back!! what a fool....but i did my bit in calming her dwon and got a lift to the train station. The border patrol threw a few people off though as we entered Canadian soil...time consuming it was. Anyway I am now in Toronto and it is freezing and rainy, but i will see what tomorrow brings? Off back to New York state sunday to stay in Buffalo for one night then a flight back to the west Coast to Portland, Oregon! I have realised that the Amtrak rail pass was a pretty redundant idea and a bit of a waste, as it takes forever to get naywhere nad the clock is ticking. Toronto seems great so will report back in a couple of days!
