Niagara Falls - Day 1 (Arrival)

Once we grabbed our suitcases and exited the train, we stood in line outside of the station waiting for a cab. Most of the cab cars were PT Cruisers.

I was surprised to hear a Carrie Underwood song on the radio station when we got into the cab. Maybe I thought it would be in French or something. We drove along a pleasant road filled with B&Bs and arrived to our hotel within 10 minutes. After checking in, we made our way up to our room on the 18th floor. We had such a beautiful view! Part of the window opened up onto a little balcony. We could see both falls and a large chunk of the Clifton Hills area. Gorgeous…especially at night.

After having so little sleep for the last couple nights, we were both exhausted, but decided to explore around the hotel. We intentionally didn’t bring the cameras or anything to avoid carrying a bunch of stuff, but wished we had once we started walking around. We walked and walked in town admiring the buildings and trying to remember the different places we wanted to stop at later.

We were starving since we’d only had breakfast at 9 am on the train and decided to stop at an Outback we saw. Not very adventurous, but it is one of our favorites. We each had an excellent sirloin dinner. After walking around a bit more near the falls, we went up to our hotel room and watched the fireworks over the falls. It was gorgeous.






After that we went to bed.
