Wonderland, Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake


Hi all,

Sunday 16th June we took a bus from Montreal down to Toronto, took almost 6 hours as Toronto traffic is awful! Anyway, found our hostel, went to the shop, ate and headed to bed. It was supposed to rain the next day so we decided to go to Wonderland - the Canadian version of Disneyworld. It turned out to be a lovely, hot day and was great as it was so quiet, the longest we queued was 10 minutes!





 It is a beautiful park with some really cool rides. Don't think many tourists are aware of Wonderland as it seemed to just be Canadians there.

Behemoth with a 230ft drop...not as big as Leviathian which was over a 300ft drop and the world's 5th biggest roller coaster.

Was a really cool day, and was nice to do something a bit different. We then met up with Sheila, a friend from back home. Went for dinner to the Salad King, an amazing (and cheap) Thai restaurant just off Dundas Square.




The following day, we went on a guided tour to Niagara Falls. Got picked up pretty early and got to Niagara mid morning. Started at the actual falls, then headed to Clifton Hill where you get a good view of the Falls and it is where the Maid of the Mist is situated.

After the Falls we went on to a gorgeous little town called Niagara-on-the-Lake, right in the heart of wine country! Such a cute little place, tour buses aren't allowed to drive through in order to keep it more peaceful.

A lovely end to a lovely day: cocktails with Lisa and Sheila sat outside overlooking Dundas Square.
