Niagara Falls - Canada

We caught the bus to Niagara this morning, the bus ride was a pretty smooth journey. When we got to Niagara we walked from the bus station to our hostel which seems like it is in the middle of nowhere but is okay.

We checked in and walked to the falls which were a half an hour walk; this was quite nice in the sunshine. When looking at the falls they were really picturesque however I expected them to be bigger! After looking at the falls we walked into the local town which reminded us a bit of Blackpool - flashing lights, casinos etc.

We returned to the hostel and walked back up at dusk. We went to the skylon tower which gives a birds eye view of the falls. This was really lovely, we had a drink at the top in the hope to catch the falls lit up at dark however they did not light up. On our way down the guide told us that they would light up in around 10 minutes after we left!

We walked and got some food which was lovely then down to the falls to see them lit at night before getting a taxi back to the hostel.Read more
