Hi Everyone,
We have safely arrived in the beautiful Niagara Falls on the 31st of may after our 9 hour Amtrak train journey from New York. 9 hours sounds long but it was actually fine as it was a very spacious train with plenty of leg space so we slept for most of the journey. The hotel we stayed in was lovely aswell, 2 minutes from the falls and in the centre of all the places to go.
Niagara in a whole has not got a great deal going on but the falls make up for that in abundance as they are just breathtaking. We walked around the whole Niagara Falls vicinity and the views are amazing, we also done the famous Maid of the Mist boat tour were you go so close to the falls you think your going under them, it was amazing to view them 1st hand, no wonder they get 15 million tourists a year. (incase you wanted to know).
Some of the other things we done in Niagara was walk around the biggest casino in the world, and i stress walk around as it would not be wise to gamble when on a 8 month backpacking budget ha! we just watched everyone else lose. we walked around the town and the fallsview tower but there was not much else around.
We decided to treat ourselves and have a night out which was very enjoyable. We had a lovely meal and moved on to a recommended bar called Spicy olive which had live music on which was a band called The Voices who were exellent, we had a few well deserved drinks and a little dance before heading back.
On a whole i'd recommend Niagara but only for a couple of nights just to experience the beautiful Falls. It's expensive and they really pry on tourists so it was not ideal for us but we had a great time as Me and Mary always do.
Next were off to Toronto so will be in touch soon.
Speak soon Mary and Ray xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
