Day 49

Wednesday, August 11th
Rest day in Alliston (spent in Niagara)
0km

Another busy rest day with lots of walking.  With only a few more rest days left in the summer, and lots of interesting plances left to see, I think it might be a while before we get any real “rest”.

I played tour guide again, taking Paul, Rick and Jonny around the falls area.

We took in the tackiness of clifton hill, walked out on the rainbow bridge (Paul is prefectly comfortable decending a hill at 80km/h on his bike, but he does seem to get a bit flustered when you trick him onto a bridge, and have him to explain that he is an Australian citizen without a passport when he tries to come back into Canada.  The best part was that we said that we had not actually entered the US, while he had an “I love NY” shirt onm.)

After that, we rode the maid of the mist, which I hadn't done in years.  It was raining pretty hard, which fot us even wetter than the mist usually would have.

We walked to the brink of the falls for a few photos before heading up the incline railway to lunch at TGI Fridays.  After that was the IMAX movie niagara, which I belive was filmed around 1987...honestly!

We stopped off at the local CIBC and got me a new debit and credit card.  Yay CIBC!!!

Dinner at home was great.  I'm not sure how I'm going to retun to camp food after both nana and mom put out huge spreads of delicious food.

Dad is driving us back to camp as I type.  As we drive north, we head towards dark clouds and its just started to rain.  Isn't camping great?!?

Mom and grandma contributed some great food for the past 2 days, and dad took 2 days off to chaufer us around.  Thanks everyone, it was great!
