Niagara Falls!
Niagara, NY, was a cold windy, somewhat derelict place, until the tourists come and fill up the streets. My first night I spent in an oversize, room for 10, bed; and poped out to see the falls in all there, multicolour-lit-up glory.

Day two and I find my hostel, a day late I'm told. Ran by Carrol in her home; it was a very nice homely place, just a 10 minute walk from the falls. I brought myself a discovery pass that alowed me to do and see alot, for a fraction of the price. The first thing I noticed was the place was roaming with black squirrels, how cool were they, quite tame aswell.












After watching them for too long, I head to the maid of the mist, a boat ride that takes you up close and personal to the falls. I got wet and even colder, thoug the experience was awsome.

The discovery pass also also got me into the Niagara Aquarium. It was small and cozy, but the lack of propper habbitat and space for the critters was a little depressing. The pass also go me into an Imax theater, where the story of the falls were told. From the legends and the daredevils who crossed and went over the edge. Here I met an american who likes Jeffrey Archer, I presumed for his books and not the other stuff.

Day three and I ventured into Canada. From this side a better view of the falls was seen, even better a view was had from the sky wheel; a smaller version of the mellium wheel. Here I did some shopping and sight seeing, and took a last look of the falls before my journey north to Ottawa.
Bye!
