Best Western Niagara Falls

Heute stand natürlich der Besuch der Niagara Fälle auf dem Programm. Es handelt sich dabei um zwei Wasserfälle: einer auf der amerikanischen Seite mit einer Kantenlänge von 360m und einer auf der kanadischen Seite (790m). Wobei der kanadische spektakulärer aussieht, und auch eine höhere Fallhöhe besitzt (52m). <br>Mit einem Ausflugsboot konnten wir dann ...

No signs before crossing the border told us about this! Refused to accept Canadian and neither of us have credit cards [debit not accepted either..] so after much *****ing the officer ...

... spent to get here seemed very worth it. The Falls consist of three separate waterfalls, American, Bridal Veil and the Horse Shoe Falls. As it's winter, the entire gorge and river beneath has frozen solid, leaving only the Falls and the river above still flowing. It makes for an impressive understating it slightly. The American side has a decent tower from which to observe the Falls, however due to ...

... getting picked up by a friend and being driven to Toronto! So only Kash and myself were staying in Buffalo...................... oh ****, i think we dropped a clanger! Evidence mounted when we started walking the streets looking for a bus, taxi or anything that could get us to our hotel, and nothing! Fortunately the hotel sent a taxi for us, which at a distance looked ok, but as is approached it became apparent that anything goes in the USA. We made it to the Hotel in Cheektawaga ...

We leave "Fergus" town this morning in the direction of the Elora gorge. The Elora Gorge is one of the most beautiful and spectacular natural area's in the Grand River valley. The Grand river rushes through 22-metre high cliff walls. There are plenty of outdoor activities, kayaking and tubing (much faster than the river we tried in Texas). We take a wee walk around the gorge before driving to Oakville just South of Toronto where we meet up with Kathie and Mike. Our ...
