Niagara Falls

Sunny and warm today and got hotter later +- 26⁰C (81⁰F).  Had a quick breakfast and then headed off to Niagara Falls.  We got there at about 10am and boy what that a sight to see!!  They were absolutely magnificent and we even got to see a lovely rainbow over them.  Photos just don’t do them justice; you have to be there to see for yourself.

We first went to the Observation Deck which extends over the gorge a bit.  Then we went to the Bridal Falls and then took a walk across two bridges over the lake to get to the Horseshoe Falls.  We could see Canada on the opposite side of the gorge.

After taking in the sight of these wonderful falls, we decided to have an ice-cream to eat whilst walking back to our car.  Yikes it was huge and this was only 1 scoop!!

We left Niagara Falls at about 12:30pm and took the Seaway Trail down the coast through some historic towns, stopping along the way to do our own “tailgating” (eating from out of the back of your car) and eventually reaching Erie.  We booked into the La Quinta Inns and Suites and after unpacking headed off into the town.  We wondered around a few shops before heading off to the Texas Grill for supper.  I had a “Rattlesnake Marguerita” and boy was it huge! but very enjoyable.  After a great dinner of ribs for Dereck and Chicken for me, we headed off back to our hotel.
