Holiday Inn Express & Suites 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 ...

... we didn&#8217;t mind walking 32 miles around the park to see everything. <br><br><br><br>We want to do Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds&#8230;this guy says it&#8217;s a 6 mile walk to see both of them. I&#8217;m thinking, huh, I don&#8217;t remember it being that big. He says that it&#8217;s 20. to get on Maid of the Mist and I said that the website says it&#8217;s 13.50&#8230;he replies that the elevator cost is 6 ...

... dann schon ein kleiner Kontrast zum Wetter draußen. Für die Kälte wurden wir dann auch weiter belohnt, als wir den atemberaubenden Blick auf die Chicagoer Skyline im Abendrot erleben durften. Die "Skycrapers" warfen ihre Spiegelung auf das von Abendsonne durchtränkte Wasser und die im Wasser schwimmenden Eisschollen glitzerten in Konkurenz zu den Diamanten der Schönen und Reichen Chicagos. Der krönende Abschluss eines wunderbaren Tages war dann ...

... gå 20 min. for at komme derhen og det vil jeg nu ikke kalde tæt på. Hostlet var i det hele taget ikke særlig godt, men det var til at klare, da vi kun skulle tilbringe en nat. Efter vi havde fået smidt vores bagage på hostlet gik vi tilbage for at se på vandfaldene. I første omgang gik vi bare en tur langs kanten og nød den flotte udsigt. Senere hen på eftermiddagen gik vi ud for at finde et sted vi kunne købe billetter til 'The Maid of the Mist' - som jo er ...

... and more intense cold the car will tend to run "rich". Translation, the WRX was burning a little more of all vital liquids...I think. :) But it was fine. We got on the highway to find that I probably should have bought new windshield wiper blades along with the oil. So we consulted the GPS for yet another nearby auto parts store. Back on the road with peace of mind and visibility. Yay! We drove on and on ...

... then all of a sudden it drops off and crashes onto the rocks below. I am used to the violent, rushing rivers and waterfalls of Yosemite that don't have the same peacefulness that Niagara does. However, there was one thing that took away from the sereneness.....people. There were millions and millions of people there, some times making it hard to push your way up to the rail to get a peek. And not only were ...

... flewery, with nice streets, nice houses and constructions, cottages, footpath. There are small store very pretty where you can buy for example Ice Wine. It is a sweet white wine made pretty mate, when the grappe had the first ice. And there is also a nice view of the Ontario Lake, opposite side from Toronto.

... to h*ve more time bec*use I w*nted to visit the city Ni*g*r*-on-the-L*ke which is pretty close (*bout 30 minutes by c*r - 20 km). The org*nis*tion of the Chinese *gengy w*s ok but the only free se*t were in the l*st bus (in summer there *re m*ny tourists,much more th*n in winter) *t 11:00/12:00 PM. Actu*lly I didn't regret, Ni*g*r*-on-the-L*ke is * very cute city to visit in summer.

... you h*ve to go in * Chinese *gency in Chin*town, Sp*din* St*tion, inside the m*ll for ex*mple. Of course you *re not free, you h*ve to t*ke the bus *t time *nd you h*ve * couple of hours to see the f*lls *nd then t*ke the bus to go b*ck. But it is possible to *sk if there *re free se*t if you w*nt to st*y more. I h*ve *sked when I visited the f*lls in summer.<br> <br>

Leaving Canada was kind of a strange experience since we didn't have a clear idea of how long we would be gone and when we might return. Even though we figured we'd have to come back for visas once we get jobs, that would just be a short visit home, and this trip still feels like moving away. Far away. I (hannah) got a little sad saying goodbye to my mom, but that's to be expected. The flight was really long, boring and uncomfortable. Last summer they played the movie ...
