Friday 21 July 2006 - Niagara Falls
Arrived at 6.30am with very little sleep but that was soon forgotten when we stepped off the coach and heard the Falls. Saw the Falls from the USA side then made our way across the Rainbow Bridge to Canada. Was greeted by a lovely Canadian at customs who directed us to The Secret Garden where we could sit and have breakfast by the Falls.
Slip up number 1 - when asking for directions to our hostel it soon became apparent that we had booked into Hostel International Niagara Falls but on the wrong side of the border. Not a problem, just a little extra cost but we were in the right country!!
Spent the day at the Falls, absolutely amazing. Walked the stretch and lazed about on the grass taking in the scenery.
Back to the Hostel for a BBQ (well, a burger!) then headed back to the Falls for the night fireworks. Very pretty, streets were packed with people watching the Falls all lit up. May have one picture that does it justice, once Rita suggested to switch the flash off!
Walked the stretch again entertaining ourselves with bursts of songs...... still not made any friends!!
Quick visit to the Casinos - just to take some pictures as it was getting on for midnight.....
