At last we think we have figured out this trip. We will leave Buffalo and head to Barcelona for a few days. Then we will get ourselves to London for our flight to Mumbai. After a short while in Mumbai we are heading south to Panaji, Old Goa and the coast where we will spend considerable time. About a month or so later it's back to London ...

... the AFL games back home.

Also the drive out of Buffalo was lengthy. Many roads were blocked off so I have to put in another route to head back to Newark which included unsealed roads to get to the highway. Cops everywhere too and they don't like anyone creeping over the limit here....unlike the experience on the CA and NV freeways a few days back. Once on the freeway we were set for another 6 hour drive back.

... They alternate between white and colored lights which really highlight the viewing. We tried to take heaps of pics, but the new camera is a little above our ability at this stage. We decided to return back to the hotel at about 11pm as it was 0 degrees and both out hands were numb.

I quickly called Tom to get some tips for the camera settings....hopefully I can work something out!!!!

Sacked it at about 02:00.

The falls were falling all right - especially when illuminated with changing lights at night. Las-Vegas-By-The-Falls (a.k.a Niagara Falls town) was a bit of a surprise - definitely an American import, but Canadian version was somewhat less boring and tasteless than original US one

... list! Intially being in Niagara was a little weird, I had expected to be wowed by the Falls, but I think the edge had been taken off by my lack of sleep. They seemed to far away and with all the people it kind didn't have the elemental feeling I had been expecting (naively!) However, it finally clicked for me when I did the Maid in the Mist boat trip which takes you right up to the bottom of the falls, (getting you pretty wet in the process despite the fetching ...

... idea what the address of our accommodation was!!! It was apparently in the town of Niagara Falls not in Buffalo as we thought and the taxi driver was seriously ****** when he found we wanted to make the 40 odd mile ...

... to spend it on the American side. The American side is mainly park area. We found out form a tour guide later that NY state law requires the area to be... "untouched" so to say. The result is undeveloped natural beauty. Quite a difference when you make it up to the falls, and look across the way to the Canadian wall of giant hotels. The view of the falls is really not the best. We viewed them from Goat Island. From Goat Island you are essential get a side view of the falls ...

... amazing I can't describe it in words. The lights were shining on the water and the Falls looked beautiful. I got quite emotional! We were able to walk out onto the observation deck and see the Falls from up high which was pretty cool. We were high above them and could see them so clearly. We walked around the side of the Falls as far as we could. They really are an amzing sight and I can't wait to see them from the Canadian side tomorrow!

... les autres. C'était son coté femme indépendante, elle qui a, après tout, fait le tour du monde! Elle est restée chez nous trois ans, cette petite Française. Durant son séjour, nous avons découvert une personne douée, généreuse, élégante et déterminée (et belle et intelligente, bien sûr!). Une âme qui aime la vie, le plaisir, les gens. Anaïs, tu remplis notre coeur, notre vie et notre pays de soleil (depuis ...
