Niagara Falls
the day was so hot, and really windy! - check out the hair in other photos! the falls were so amazing, I could have sat down and watched them all day! far out! hve just been to Niagra falls and walked into Canada on my day off - so cool! had an amazing day checking out the falls and being a good old tourist!
If you ever get the chance to go to Niagra, then do it, cos its honestly worth it. People here at camp have said that its really boring and a waste of time, but it soooo isnt! the sheer height and power of the falls and water is.....i dont know! its just amazing! you really have to experience it for yourselves to fully understand. The water that flows over the falls come from the great lakes, and travel out into the atlanta ocean - that in itself is cool!
Did the Maid of the Mist boat ride (did some of yous get my postcard?) which took us right up into the falls pretty much. The best thing about the trip was the lovely blue plastic poncho that we got so we wouldnt get wet!! haha - it wasnt actually the best thing but it was definitely a highlight considering the fact that i didnt pack a rain coat and now i have one - and a
Me, Jess and the Falls
go the hair! I told you's it was windy! haha! i have no idea what im doing with my hand!! free one at that!! When we got into the 'horseshoe' section of the falls it was so wet we could hardly see a thing!
After the boat ride took the tram thingy to do The Cave of Winds walk which was just as cool and just as wet - this time we got a yellow (!!!) poncho and a free pair of sandals - yay!! (however i didnt keep mine cos i donated them to charity - arent i nice!)
Oh I saw a groundhog! it was so cute!
After the cave of winds Lisa (from Ireland) and I walked the 'rainbow connection' into Canada - ive been to canada, and to prove it i have a stamp in my passport - yeaha! however it almost didnt happen - DRAMA!!- cos lisa forgot a vital bit of paper work, but after some smooth talking to the canadian immigration people we got her in - mission completed! u can call us Bond, James bond. Secret Agent.
Anyway, had a choice as day - well worth the 5 hour bus ride there and back!
love ya all!
