Day 24 strangers in the night

Put our bags into storage in the Royal York and checked out to head to Niagara Falls. Will be back at the hotel Monday night. Hopped onto our coach to Niagara from the Union Station which conveniently is just across the road.. Its 128klm and should only take 90min on the freeway there. Turned out it took over 3hrs. I swear the coach driver never got out of 1st gear for 100klm. The 6 lane freeway was bumper to bumper which they reckon it always is on the weekend.

The coach company has to pay a $65 toll to drive and stop in Niagara each trip. So rather than do that he stops on the outskirts of town at a disused car park that a local bus company does free shuttles into town from. To catch up some time mariah got us an Uber which came in 3min and that took us to our Airbnb about 2klm from the falls. We had the basement in this nice old house, all fully refurbished with 2 bedrooms

We had the ferry ride to the falls at 5pm so we walked down to a nice old restaurant overlooking the falls and had some lunch. Then off to the boarding area and picked up our plastic ponchos. Very busy and the ship takes 700 passengers every trip at $50 each its money making machine. The ladies loved the ferry ride and we all got pretty wet as it gets very close to the falls.

Had a walk around town then headed to our lodgings. Dinner time beckoned and mariah ordered a lovely Indian meal for us delivered to the house. We tried to watch a movie but the landlord had activated parental control so stuff it we started watching Nemo... The 2nd odd event was at 10.30pm the landlord has set access to the internet to close down....

Pissed off but tired we turned in. At about 11.30pm and in bed we heard someone coming down the stairs into our lounge. Long story cut short it was a family coming to stay as there was a date stuff up. The bloody landlord doesn't change the back doors key code between renters. Not sure who was the most surprised.

Mariah sorts this out and we finally turn in again.Read more
