there's nothing like finally experiencing something you have imagined your whole life. and when i felt the mist of niagra falls on my face yesterday, another childhood dream had come true.
our mate Will is one of the most prolific travellers i know. so, when i emailed him a few months ago telling him about our travel plans I suggested that the world is a small place and that, chances are we might 'bump' into eachother at some stage. And bump into him we have...in Toronto, Canada, where he is now living with his gorgeous Canadian girlfriend, Carly.
in Will and Carly we had the perfect tour guides. a lunch of burritos and pitchers of margaritas welcomed us to canada and set us up for the Maid of the Mist...the boat that took us into the heart of the falls. the power of the water streaming off the cliffs took our breath away and the mist soaked our faces...it was incredible and everything i had imagined as a little girl.
niagra falls is a strange place. in contrast to the awesome natural beauty of the falls the town is filled with casinos and wax museums, restaurants and neon lights. Will and Carly have only recently returned from a year teaching in south korea and were excited to stumble across a small korean restaurant where we had a delicious dinner of various dishes recommended by them after an afternoon of blackjack and the pokies. following that up by some canadian beer and tequila shots in a r&b club our niagra falls experience was complete.
today we go up the tallest tower in the universe....stay tuned!!
