Toronto is literally a concrete jungle! We were all quite amazed at the extent of highrise and freeway networks clogging this city. Such a shame as it is on the shore of beautiful Lake Ontario but the metropolis completely blocks out the views unless you manage to get down to the shore. I'm sure Toronto has much to offer but at first glance it is buried in concrete.
Niagara Falls is our main intent here and we organised a tour on the internet earlier in the year. So step ...
Majestic day & a wonder of the world
... side of Niagara falls, which required a 3hr round trip the next day, just what you need in 90c heat and on your day off! The second issue was that the hotel in Boston that I sent the clothes to doesn't have any rooms available for me - what a plonker.

Overnight with a view
I must admit I didn't spend much time in Buffalo, as it was just a place where we spent the night during our weekend at the Niagara Falls. The Hotel was great anyway: probably one of the best beds I've ever slept in! It's not in the town centre (closer to Lake Erie) but from the windows, I got a great view of the town. Great value for your money!
