Day 33 - Still at the Falls

You have me, Sarah, again tonight.  I doubt Alan will have any comments but if he does, they will be in red.

 

 

For all those who have come in to read the excitment that was our day, I'm so sorry to disappoint you.  We have very little to report.

 

We woke this morning to very grey skies and rain.  We decided to put off our tour options until tomorrow in the hope it will be dry and sunny.  We hung around the room until late morning and decided to head off to a huge corn field maze which is about 30 minutes drive east of the hotel. To get there we had to drive through some pretty bad areas of town. Some of the houses looked nice, but most were either boarded up and abandoned, or for sale. Most factories and motels have long since closed and the most common thing to see are Niagara visitor welcome centres which look dodgy at best. We kept praying that we didn't break down. Unfortunately when we got to the maze they said it was too wet and muddy so we didn't do it.  Disappointing.  We are hoping to get back there tomorrow afternoon, time and weather permitting.

 

We had an early lunch at the Italian restaurant, Olive Garden, which we didn't finish. It's understandable when we have a big salad bowl, an appetizer and very filling main courses each. They very nicely packed up our leftovers and we brought them back to the room.  Our room doesn't have a microwave but when we went to do some washing this afternoon, we found there was a microwave in the laundry room.  Yeah, that makes sense. Where else would you find a microwave? There's probably a fridge in the swimming pool and a dishwasher in the games room.

 

We had our leftovers around 6pm and at 7.30 we thought we better go and check to make sure the falls were still there.  They were, which was a great relief.  A quick walk to Denny's for dessert and then back to the room.

 

So what was our day.  Exciting hey!  Sorry, there are no photos today.  We will have lots from our various events tomorrow.  Rumour has it the weather will be improved.
