It was a gorgeous day at Niagara Falls, and I caught the sun a bit. I didn't really associate Canada with this sort of weather so I didn't bring any sun cream. Now I'm a little bit red around the edges. Oh, and no. I didn't have my coat with me.

The falls are spectacular.


I had planned to take a trip of The Maid of the Mist - the boat that takes you under the falls - but it wasn't running toady. Apparently it isn't the high season yet and today was really quiet. Well if it was quiet today, I'd hate to be there when it was busy.

I went for a walk through the town which is full of tasteful tourist traps like a 'house of horrors', a 180° cinemas and a fair few casinos (this is a national park, I thought the idea was national parks should remain unspoilt?). There was a Hershey's store though. So I stocked up on Hershey bars to bring back.

I'm off on the Big Train tomorrow, so I don't know if I'll be able to use the Internet until I get to Jasper on May 3rd. Back soon.
