Yey, we are back to the luxurious and comfortable hotels we deserve!! We met the coach just outside Washington and we were right in our assumption that the rest of the passengers would be Chinese. It feels strange to be a cultural minority! Our first stop was Hershey's Chocolate Factory in Pennsylvania. What a beautiful state. All the houses were totally beautiful, like nothing I've seen before. Although the countryside reminded me very much of South West France.
We arrived last night at Niagera Falls and were quite disapointed by the American side. The shops and restaurants surrounding it are beyond cheap and nasty. Even Prospect Centre Food Court circa 1989 would be more impressive. There are actually 3 waterfalls that make up Nigera Falls -American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls. On the USA side you can only see one of them and although it is amazing it is NOTHING compared to the Horseshoe Falls!
Luckily, today we travelled across to the Canadian side of the Falls which is SO much better, in every way! We took a 'Maid Of The Mist' boat trip right into the Falls. SENSATIONAL, and very wet!! Lunchtime we dined at the top of the Skylon Tower on a revolving platform with a fantastic view of ALL the Falls.
We are now in Toronto. We leave at 5.15am tomorrow - so tonight we are enjoying the room service and free wifi at the hotel!! This trip is fantastic but also really tiring.
