had to get out of Niagara .. my faith in Canada restored..

I only had 2.5 days in Canada, and only came to see the falls.. I am soooo gutted and sooo over Niagara falls, (yet very restricted due to flights).. but I have to get out.. so, I hire a car and drive to Niagara on the lake, which is lovely.

This is what actually made the trip to Canada, rather than the falls. 

Niagara – not what I expected …

Now tis’ the season to be jolly, and I am here smack bang between Christmas and New Year so I am seeing Niagara at its commercial best.

I guess I thought Niagara would feel a bit more natural and untouched … I knew it would cater for tourists, but I was thinking Sugarloaf not Great Yarmouth pumped up with steroids and throw in some falls, or the Gold Coast in minus 10 with Iguacu in the middle of it, the restaurants are mainly cheap chains and all you can eat buffets, I feel quite sad saying that, but.. that is what it feels like.  If you are after a falls experience I would suggest Iguacu by a long shot....
