Niagara Tour Part 2

Niagara Falls

Our second day at the Niagara falls started early in the next morning. We work up in our hotel room after a good night sleep. After washing our face we went to the hotel restaurant for our breakfast. The breakfast was included. The menu was not bad. It was the usual cereals, milk, blueberry & strawberry waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, bun and butter, cheese, and 3 choice of juice. We could make our own choice of waffles and eat it hot. We ate a heartfelt breakfast and finished off with a cup of coffee.

To burn off some our food we went for a swimming at the hotel’s swimming facility. It was big enough with children’s swimming area and had a small Jacuzzi. There were different sizes swimming rings too. My son enjoyed the water very much though he was a little scared. After spending there about an hour we went to our room to get ready to explore more of Niagara city.

We decided not to take our car as we had a plan to see the falls and go closer with the cruise. The time needed for doing this might take long and so the parking fee will be higher than the bus fare. The bus fare was $2.75/adult. Those we do not have cars, have an option of buying tickets for the whole day at the We Go blue and Red lines at $9.00/adult and $6.00/child. 

The bus put us off near the horse shoe falls. There we took some pictures and started off towards the cruise ride. After purchasing our ticket we stood in the line and headed for a journey of our life time. Watch my video to see the details of our journey and the beauty of the falls. We was very thrilling and exciting to see the falls so up close, I can never describe the true beauty of it by just words, It is truly a wonder of God of how massive and powerful the falls is and how little we are compared to it. It was a blessing for me to see God’s creation and talk about it. Even if it is a little expensive but still I recommend everyone to ride the Cruise to the Falls at least once in a lifetime to experience the real Niagara falls.

After getting off from the falls we sat at the restaurant by the falls and had some drinks and chips to enjoy the view and ease our heart after a thrilling adventure. Then we started to explore the city at day light and did some window shopping. After all the walking and the thrills we became very hungry so decided to have our lunch and head off towards our hotel. It was a little difficult to find a Halal restaurant nearby the falls so we had to walk for a while to find one. But the lunch there was very good and we enjoyed it a lot. Then again with taking the bus we headed towards our hotel

We had a plan of seeing the butterfly park and the Niagara botanical garden on our way back home. But it started raining when we left our hotel. So we only went to the butterfly park. The road to the park was very scenic and we wished we had more time to explore the beauty of the nature also if it hadn’t rained then we might have gone to the botanical garden. But nonetheless the butterfly park was very enchanting. We enjoyed every bit of it. But my son was very afraid of the butterflies and didn’t want to stay there for long. So we had to leave early but you could easily spend over an hour there seeing different varieties of butterfly and learn about their breeding places. There were some butterflies sat on my hand and body which was very mesmerizing. Watch my Youtube video to see the beautiful butterfly park. 

Butterfly Park

That was all the time we had for the day. I would say that a day at the falls is not enough to enjoy every thing of the city. And it is just not the falls at Niagara that you have to see but a lot more things are there to enjoy. But if you have a time restriction then no. 1 in your list should be the Falls and no. 2 Botanical garden, no. 3 butterfly garden, no. 4 Bird Kingdom and the list goes on.

With a contended heart we left for our home. We had an amazing time at the Niagara falls. A day is not enough to enjoy everything there is. I plan to go there often and see the the natural beauty over and over again. Until next time..see you soon and Happy travelling everyone.
