Day 14 & 15

---

So we have had a couple of very busy few days. Yesterday we got our tourist on and went to the CN tower, its tall. Like really tall. Its also incredibly ugly. But on a clear day like yesterday you can see for miles and miles as the top deck is 1500 ft high. They have a glass floor too which is really neat, and everyone lies on it to take pictures, it was mighty windy up there aswell.

We had a brief tour of downtown to see where to go over the next few days before heading to the distillery area. This was choca bloc full of restaurants, shops, galleries and breweries. We saw a dog that looked like a wolf asleep on a shop floor which sold a rather mundane sun hat for $250! Later on we went with the two little pups to a local pond where there were lots of geese and woods and fountainy things. It was lovely.

We were up at the crack of dawn today to catch a 7am bus to Niagra Falls. Our guide was named Marvin and he took us on a jam packed adventure of the falls. We went on maid of the mist and gained a free poncho (wahay!) it was very wet. Imogen had a few stupid moments with "Ooo look at all that steam from the water" and "Oh I thought i was wearing a white Tee shirt, but it turned out to be my skin."

We drove down the longest road in the world, only a mere 1100 miles long. And to pass the time on the bus we counted 68 flags within 23 minutes. We went to a pretty town called Niagra on the lake, which is actually about an hour away from Niagra falls as they are based within a town full of casinos, hotels and arcades. Niagra on the lake however was incredibly quaint. There was a british shop full of cardburys and marmite! And behind the counter, a girl from Sheffield. Which was odd, but nice to hear a yorkshire accent again.


On the way back from the falls, we stopped off at a giant clock made from flowers, a hydro electric dam and the whirlpool which feeds the two rivers. We also saw a vicar playing mini golf on his church lawn. Our final stop, was at a local vineyard where we had some taster samples of their locally grown red and white.

Pictures should be on there way soon so sit tight guys!
