Day 1:
-we woke up early in Ottawa and caught a 6.40am train to Toronto
-had a 1hour stop over in Toronto Union Station before boarding a train heading for London, Ontario
-we got to London just after 2pm where Scott and Shannon met us!
-Scott drove us in his 'truck' (ute) on a tour of London, showing us the universities, downtown and all the 'dodgy' parts
-we then got to Shannon's where we met her parents Tim and Eleanor
-we chilled out for a bit and then had nice home cooked dinner - ham and potato bake
-we then went downstairs and had 'heaps' of fun playing Cards Against Humanity and Times Up (similar to Taboo but with a few different rules) - lots of laughs!
-we were also introduced to the concept of milk in a bag

Day 2:
-we had hawaian pancakes for breakfast - blueberry pancakes with an egg in the middle
-we then took off in Scott's ute for Niagara Falls (of course with a Tim Horton's stop on the way for some timbits - donut holes)
-we got there about 12.30pm but the fog was quite heavy and we couldn't see much
-we got adventure passes and caught the bus to the butterfly conservatorium which was really cool - lots of butterflies flying around in a greenhouse type building!
-we then went to the Imax theatre and watched a movie about the history of the falls and the spiritual teachings about them
-we then did the 'journey behind the falls' which is where we got to walk in tunnels behind the falls and lookout at various points - very cool!
-we came out from behind the falls and the fog had cleared!! So we quickly took some photos, and because it was darker the night lights had just turned on as well
-we drove to the town of St Catherines and went to Kelsey's for dinner where I had a burger with two patties, sloppy joe, bacon and mac & cheese!Read more
