Toronto, Canada

We had a massive day of driving to get to Toronto on Thursday.  We had to be on the bus by 6:45am, it was so early.  We stopped at Rockport to do a sightseeing cruise around the 1000 Islands and also Boldt Castle.  It was very cool.  The Islands that we saw had massive mansions on them and the only way to get to and from them was by boat.  It was incrediable to see.  It helped that it was a beautiful day so the water was really calm.  After the tour we all got back on the bus and finally arrived in Toronto at 6pm after quite a few stops that didn't seem neccessary.  We had dinner at the hotel and it was kind of average and after that Katrina decided to go out for a few drinks and I went to bed as I am having back problems.  Katrina rolled in at 3:30am, Luckily she wasn't too drunk.  In the morning we went up the CN Tower, I had a slight problem with going up the tower.  The elevators are on the outside of the building and they had glass panels on the side and on the floor of the lift.  I couldn't wait to get out of it.  The view once we got to the top was amazing,  It was a very clear day so we could see for miles.  It was awesome!!! We had to walk downn a level to get to the exit lifts and we found a glass floor so you could walk on it and see the ground.  I didn't go anywhere near it, Katrina did though and she packed her pants.  It was very funny.  Once we finished at the CN Tower we went to the shopping mall and had a look through the shops.  It was very impressive puts anything we have in Australia to shame.  For our night activity we had our Toronto pub crawl.  We started at an Irish pub and got into the Jager shots and quite a few drinks.  They had an Irish guy singing it was very funny.  After the second place a few of us decided to go back to the hotel as my back was playing up,  Katrina decided to stay on and drink some.  Once again she didn't get home till 3am,  It was funnier this time as we had to be up at 7am the next morning to make our journey down to Niagara Falls.  There were quite a few people hungover on the bus ride and it was very funny.  Once we got to the falls we did the Maid of the Mist boat ride.  It was a lot of fun, the boat goes right up to the base of the falls and you get a lot of spray of them.  Luckily they give you poncho's to put on otherwise you would get very wet.  We had free time after the boat ride so we wandered around the top of the falls and had lunch at the Hard rock Cafe.   In the afternoon we decided to do a helicopter ride over the falls.  I got the front seat and had an amazing view of everything and got some great footage of it all.  It was only a short filght but it was well worth it.  We headed back to our hotel after the helicopter flight.  It's going to be an early night tonight for both of us, as tomorrow we have another early morning and we head back into America.
