When we arrived we went and looked at the falls for about 30 minutes then headed closer to them to go on thebehind the falls adventure. unfortunatly the weather wasn't being fair to us and we could do that. so we eventually ended seeing a movie in 3D about the falls and how they were made over t http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-452042.html This trip was very exciting. At first I thought my family and my friends were just going to go Cherry picking but we pushed our trip a little farther. We were on our way driving to the cherry fields as we saw some interesting buildings such as the CN tower the hershy factory etc. We finally arrived there and there was alot of cherry trees. We all picked as much as we wanted some of us jumped http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-452021.html Hi alle Jetzt melde ich mich wieder zu Wort. Wieder ein kleiner Zeitsprung...Unser Wecker ging schon um 6.30h und das im Urlaub Am Busbahnhof war eine Riesenschlange wir haben uns schon gewundert wie die alle mitkommen sollten aber es wurde noch ein zweiter Bus eingesetzt. Um etwa 10h gings los und wie soll es anders sein Ein Deutscher aus Lbeck sitzt genau neben uns.

We have been excited for a long time about this trip because we get to miss a day of school and we get to see one of the 7 wonders of the world. Different people had different expectations but mine was that it was going to be great.We s http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-445587.html On October 7th 2009 Birchmount's Traveltourism and Natural Disasters class decided to go to the beautiful Niagara Falls for a class trip.We all loaded the bus at 8am sharp and got on the road. It was a long 2 hour drive but most of us got some sleep. As we arrived the weather was horrible. It was cold and very rainy so we couldn't go on the maid of the mist as planned. We all went into a bui http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-445295.html Niagra Falls http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-445090.html My trek to Niagara falls started off with a very early mourning having to be at school for 750 am which is normally when I get up to get ready for school. Once arriving at school a few minutes late I met up with Sam Andrew S and Cam because we were chosen to drive up in Ms Brownrsquos car. Driving up was a long ride because off all the traffic and having to sit next to Sam. I was a little bit http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-445083.html The roaring water streaming down the river it falls off what seems to be a 1000 foot drop. It almost seems as though time stops when the water is free falling into the niagra river. Then it suddenly crashes to the water bellow creating a thundering echo and sending mist all over the surrounding area. It is one of the seven wonders of the world it truely is spectacular. I am talking about the NI http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-445082.html We started our day by getting off the bus and heading straight for the falls. They were epic as ussual but because of high waters we could not go on the Maid Of The Mist. After taking some pictures of the falls we proceeded into the theatre to watch a 4D movie about the falls. It was interesting to see how much errosion they have caused and how there position is constantly changing. The movie had http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-445069.html Jessica's Trip to Niagara FallsFrom Toronto we got on a bus to Niagara Falls. The bus ride was a lot of fun. On our way their we stopped for some breakfast at Tim Horton's. I got a BLT and it was amazing. When we arrived in Niagara Falls the first thing we went to was ' The Maid of the Mist' beneath the falls. After travelling through the falls we went through all the hauted houses and mazes tha http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-445025.html On October 7th 2009 our Birchmount Park CI natural disasters class along with a travel and tourism class was lucky enough to go down and see Niagara Falls for the day. It was a very long bus ride for the amount of leg room you were given but in the end it was all worth it.When we first got to the falls we were all fascinated just taking in what was there in front of our eyesone of the seven g http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-444800.html Well I'll admit this up front. This will probably be my first and only post on this blog barring any other Natural Disasters lessons that require the use of this and whatnot. The main reason why is because of the fact that I don't travel very much .Well anyways... Our trip to Niagara Falls started when we got on the bus at about 800 AM. When we finally got there at about 1000 AM we went to http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-444799.html Feeling a little worse for wear we managed to get up in time for the wonderful pancakes that the hostel made for breakfast They were actually ok surprisinglyAfter packing up and loading the car we hit the road and headed down towards Niagara falls. When we eventually arrived we stayed on the Canadian side as the views looked better. The falls were pretty spectacular but different to what we imag http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-444468.html To being our trip we all met up at the school at 8 so we could get on the road as soon as possible. When we first got to Niagara Falls one of the seven wonders of the world the first thing we had on our list was go on the Maid of Mist. Unfortunatly since it was a crummy day out and there was a bad storm the night before the docks were flooded Might have been a good thing since it was freezi http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-444445.html This morning we set out early after a breakfast at our BB ldquoRainbowrdquo. The BB is not the best but the location is a nice short walk from the falls and the glitz of the Niagara falls ldquostriprdquo. We got in line early for the ldquoMaid In The Mistrdquo a classic that really is the best thing to do to see the falls in a unique way. We dawned our ponchos and neared the falls http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-444099.html A filmshoot I had in Niagara Falls afforded Robyn and me a nice getaway for Labor Day weekend.We got to Buffalo and drove up to Niagara Falls from there. My shoot lasted only a few hours in the morning and so Robyn and I got a splendid sweet and savory crepe at Paris Crepes Bistro Caf on Queen street. Then we had just enough time in the afternoon to visit ldquoBird Kingdomrdquo whatrsquos http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-444098.html Im leaving tomorrow for a trip around the world i have no definite plans other than i land in new delhi on october 13th 4 am and i have one year to get to australia before my work visa expires.

So Im just going to post some pictures from here in Niagara Falls to see how this site works. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-438919.html Blackpool I mean NiagaraWell having arrived on the very nice very early Amtrak train on a beautiful sunny afternoon we were all ready to have a wash and go explore. However it would seem that Canadian officials were unaware of our plans and of the actual arrival of the train as we waited about an hour for them to put their coffee cups down and come and do boarder checks 40 mins after being http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-438308.html Well after a gruelling bus trip we made it to Niagara and the station is in the middle of nowhere. A quick decision and we were in a taxi getting to our Hostel in the centre of town. Our Hosts are lovely Patrick and Shelly are Vancouver natives but their passion for Niagara Falls and its surrounding attractions is infectious. Even though it is early evening we head out to have my first glimpse http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Ontario/Niagara-Falls/blog-437379.html
