Jessica's Trip to Niagara Falls From 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 that were there, which were really fun. I got lost. After the mazes and haunted houses we went out for lunch at Subway and i got the combo because i was starving. After lunch we waited for the bus and headed back to school. Overall the trip was amazing and Niagara Falls is a beautiful place to ... read more

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 what-not. 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 8:00 AM. When we finally got there at about 10:00 AM, we went to the Maid of the Mist Ticket Booth, as you can see from my image to the left of me. Sadly however, our planned ride onto the Maid of the Mist was cancelled due to bad weather.... Hence, we took the money and went onto some sort of thing called "Niagara's Fury: The Creation of the Falls" instead. First, ... read more

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 freezing outside. As we looked for somthing to do Niagara Falls-related, we waited at a Tim Hortons and warmed up. The teachers luckily found a movie of the falls upstairs where you move around. It showed us all around the falls and it sprayed water out at us making it seem ... read more

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 surprisingly! After 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 imagined. The city of Niagrara falls is built around the falls themselves, i thought that they would be outside the city but the falls actually divide the USA and Canada, pretty cool!! We wondered around a little further trying to find the museum that had everything about the people that had gone over the edge of the falls in barrels but all there was a imax ... read more

Blackpool I mean Niagara Well 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 asked, did we have any gifts for anyone here (no I don’t know the people on the train that well!!!), why are we here, where are we going etc etc we got off the train to find our hostel just down the road, thank god. NO NOT THANK GOD THANK SATAN!!! The hostel was well meaning, run by kids just out ... read more
