Day 4

We jumped off at Buffalo with plans to get to Niagara Falls. But first it was onto a metro bus for an hour. The bus dropped us off at the visitor centre, how handy : ) We took the opportunity to find some accommodation and picked the closest one. It was off season and it was nice and fairly cheap. It also had a huge bed. It all seemed way too easy.

Now it was time to go and explore the falls. To our surprise it was a very short walk to the falls. We felt like we were walking through a ghost town. There was hardly anyone around. The trees were in the grandest of fall colours. Rich reds, orange, yellow and some were still a little green. It was absolutely beautiful. The weather was less than grand so we went up the tower to look at the American falls. Then we went down to the river level to check it out from a more intimate level. After lunch, we walked over to Bridal Vail falls. Then up to the grand and alluring Horseshoe Falls. It was still raining a bit and we just walked up the river and gazed at all the lovely colours of the trees. We went back to the hotel to relax and as I had not seen a bed in some several days I took the opportunity to have a nap as Zuz took a similarly relaxing bath.

As the batteries had been recharged and the sun had gone down, we returned to the falls to see them lit up in a magnitude of colours. It was very picturesque, We spent some time taking photos of the beauty.

On a side note 10 days after leaving Niagara Falls they received 9 feet of snow, wow. Lucky we missed that one.
