After an excellent breakfast at our hotel we boarded the bus for the hour and a half drive to Niagara Falls. Few of us had been to the falls before so our anticipation was great. We were not disappointed!

I'd been to the falls before, but they are much more spectacular when seen from the Canadian side. Insiders tips:
- If you come to Niagara Falls, bring your passport and view them from Canada.
- Take the Lady of the Mist or the Hornblower expedition boat that will bring you right into the heart of the falls.

After our "Falls" experience, we visited Niagara on the Lake, a spectacular little city with over-the-top shops and restaurants.
Back to the hotel to clean up for our farewell dinner.
The dinner was excellent and a good time was had by all. We said "Goodbye" to our new friends.

It's been a great trip! Thank you to Roberto our program manager and Pierre our driver for a delightful introduction to the great cities of eastern Canada.
With only two nights in Toronto, arriving yesterday afternoon and leaving early this morning for Niagara Falls, left little time to explore the city. With so much more to see and do so, we have another city to return to! Eastern Canada will definitely be on our "Return Visit" list.
