Niagara Falls

Just off the bus to Niagara and ready for lunch...pesto pasta!!

Our Hostel just up the hill from the falls. A really weird owned this and he was pretty forceful on us staying another night, we didn't!!

This is seconds away from the falls...why do they have to make such a natural thing so bloody touristy!

There it is...Niagara Falls. Stunning! (Right on the road side...shocked me!)

Cheesy photo before boarding the 'Maid of the Mist' boat. These macs were just a thin plastic sheet...with the sun shining we were soaked, not only on the outside but from the inside with sweat! Boiled!

View of the falls on the American side.

Getting soaked as we went really close to the horseshoe shaped falls on the Canadian side.

 

American side from the top! Posing for the camera while squinting! 

Just in case you haven't seen enough of our ugly faces already! (Horseshoe falls behind us)

Russ at the top of the falls. The spray coming off the falls was like torrential rain!

Dinner at Wendy's! Russ has set the challenge that we have to try every different fast food in America! Watch this...waistline!!

Chilling on the grass in front of the falls watching a battle of the bands contest...what a view! Later discovered I was bitten by grassy bugs!! Itchy!

Fireworks over the falls.

Day 2 Niagara. Took a walk over the bridge between Canada (the Side we stayed on) and America.

View from the bridge.

One foot in Canada and the other in America...weird! :)

View from the American side. Canadian side was definitely better as you could see more.

Russ inside one of the barrels that people used to go over the falls in! Some people actually survived!

Managed to get away from the weird hostel owner and found ourselves with a en-suite heart shaped bath for $10 less! That is what you call a RESULT!!
