Day trip to Niagara Falls

It's like being in Blackpool!!!

sunny 30 °C

Enjoying my time in Toronto which is experiencing a heat wave with very high humidity at the moment.

I gave you some pictures of this stuff already but managed to watch a baseball game at Roger's Stadium whilst in town, The Toronto Blue Jays vs the Cleveland Indians, final score 8 - 6 with the Blue Jays winning.

We sat in the cheapest seats and only paid $9 each per ticket (about 4.50 quid), and surprisingly even though we were right at the back near the top of the stadium we had a completely clear view of the game and had a really good time, the only downsides were that we did not know the rules and so for the first hour were guessing what the hell was going on, but as the people ran around the field and the game went on we managed to figure most of it out.
The full game took almost 3 hours to finish and the although the action was few and far between, (just like any other baseball Game I am told) it was cool to be there.

Right next door to the baseball is the world famous CN Tower, at a height of 553 metres it give some great views of the city.

Right now I am in the small Town of Niagara Falls and apart from the obvious Tourist Attraction the town feels like a American version of Blackpool, with Amusement Arcades, Wax Museums, and cheesy rides everywhere, it's really surprising/strange that you have the majestic falls next to all of this Tourist Mumbo Jumbo so 1 day here is more than enough.

Back to Toronto tomorrow before flying over to Calgary to spend a few days in the Canadian Rockies!

Hi No 1,

Sounds like a bigger version of Southend. Were the falls a bit more impressive? Hope you have got some photos and a fridge magnet. When you get to the Rockies look out for the bears.
