Water, water, everywhere

hurrah, get free internet access in this hotel so can make another blog entry already. It's almost 1am here so will have to make this quick, but will be busy for the next few days once we arrive in New York so don't know when I'll have time for another update.

Went to Niagara Falls today, it was a great day. Bit smoggy here unfotunately so it probably wasn't at it's best but was still very pretty. Did all the touristy things, the Maid of the Mist, the tunnels behind the falls, the white water walk, so we got repeatedly soaked. Will put up photos later of us all looking rather fetching in our plastic raincoats. Went up to Clifton Hill for dinner before we saw the falls illuminated at night, got wet once again as we stood with all the other tourists in the spray from the falls and the drizzle trying to get decent pictures of the falls all lit up. Our poor cameras copped a fair bit of abuse today, we're lucky they're not short circuiting and exploding from all the water we've subjected them to.

The International Film Fesrival is on here at the moment too so got vague glimpses of a few celebrities last night on our long search for something to eat. Saw Kevin Bacon, Charlize Theron and Colin Firth from across the street, along with other people who we didn't recognise or weren't famous.

Going to the CN Tower tomorrow, then it's off to the Big Apple!

I wonder if Kevin Bacon gets to have a Pat down or are they just picking on you???

Hello Wayne
It is now week 3 and we are all going through grief counselling at Smartype. We hope you are returning as we miss you lots.
Don't hide food in your luggage. They sometimes do an internal examination at the airport. Remember, just look at the ceiling and think of home. And relax...
