Wednesday 12 August Up and breakfast and gone by 7:30. It's a lovely walk down tree lined streets, moist from the rain. Malcolm gets our tickets and then it's 30 min till we start to board. Once on we stay till the border. It's straight forward getting in. We next stop for lunch after 1pm and get to NYC about 6pm. A long journey in a cramped seat. A lovely view. We then figure our way round to the bus we need to catch. It's late but we get there in the end. A s...

Tuesday 11 August It's still hot in the morning! But raining. We have breakfast, which is very basic. After relaxing a few hours we decide to brave the weather and head downtown. We get quite wet. Downtown we stop acts church just as before a pipe organ concert! It's amazing- the massive organ and the player. By the end the rain has stopped and we head further into town and get lunch. In the way back we check out the underground malls. One has an impressive wate...

Monday 10th August We awake and ready our things for leaving. We need to be at the bus station by 10:30 but we are not sure exactly where we need to go so we end up lugging our bags around more blocks. Thankfully we already have our tickets. It's a bit of a mission boarding but we get on our way. We are late and the driver talks about possible options to be arranged for ppl like us getting connections. The scenery is lovely. Lush green fields, lakes and rivers ...

Sunday 9 August We get up early in order to have breakfast and get to the train station on time. We walk to the station to save time, which we needed once there trying to find the right place! We safely get in the train in time. It goes straight to Niagara Falls town! We thought we would have to catch a few different transports. We have to buy a new pass to get around the town on the bus. The Niagara Falls are pretty, a beautiful blue colour, but nothing in spe...

Saturday 8 August We wake up late. But thankfully breakfast is till 11am! We are allowed to choose 4 things. I choose 2 bagels, a muffin and an apple. Malcolm sees there is a church very close so we get ready and go to the service. They sing heaps and heaps on hymns. There are at least 8 on the board and then they have some for offerings and prayer. It's in a shared church where 3 meet! It's large with a high ceiling and stained ads windows. Echo-y. Seems to ...
