Ok... back again... been a while...

To India and back.....interesting trip... I get back and yet the PR card remains elusive..anyways does not really matter now :) not that am goin anywhere... or maybe am speaking too soon :) 

so ... explore Kanneda begins.. with awesome weather in sight... a trip to the beautiful Niagra is planned... 20th to 21st July!

20th July: Day 1
The Ride to Niagra: Set off from home at 9am (yea! we actually managed to pull it off at 9am :) ha ha)... and walked to the GO bus station.. purchased a PRESTO card and headed to MiWay... to take a bus to Port Credit. Bus 19... a direct 20 min ride to Port Credit GO Train station..The train took us to Burlington.... and then an hour of a bus ride... got us to Niagra...! 

Exploring: A 15 min walk from the Go Bus stand to the Hotel... Wyndham Garden.. a new and very nice property! Grabbed some lunch at iHop (well breakfast for lunch :)) and took a WeGo bus - "blue line" and took a tour of the route... it covers.. the falls.. table rock.. marineland...helped us plan :)..Back to the hotel.. check-in and then refresh... headed out to the falls... 

Niagraaaa: Walked to table rock and took in the views of the magnificent falls! The American falls, Bridal veil (US side) and Horseshoe falls (Canadian side)

Took the "journey behind the falls.... a walk that takes you almost to the center... behind the falls. It has two views .. and a lot of interesting information about the falls. 
Dinner at a Pakistani restaurant at Clifton hil..very yummy! Walked to the hotel.. freshened up and walked back to the falls for some spectacular fireworks! 


20th July: Day 2
On-board the Hornblower: Took a ride to as close as can be to the beautiful falls.. onboard the hornblower cruise :) 

MarineLand: Just in time for the dolphin show (my favorite thing to do in a marine park)! first time to see the Beluga whales 

Back to the hotel to freshen up and have dinner at this lil Italian place we discovered close to the hotel...:IL SORRISO.. the best pizza ever and had a drink called "Biji Galata: which means Bicycle in Italian.  A drink made with Aperol.. and Italian drink (from champari) refreshing....

21st July: Day 3
A view from the top: A view of the Niagra from the skylon tower is a must to complete the experience.. 
Home sweet home: with amazing memories.. we headed back home..

Niagraa.... One of the most magnificent sights.... ever.....the force.. the gush of the water... feeling the love from the  rivers that unite with a passion... and fall..(like in love) and merge... to find its peace.....
