Day 56 Saturday ***TWO DAY POST***
We followed 401 to the 403
into Hamilton and took the QEW to Niagara and 420 to down town. Ok, enough about the route numbers. We hit the visitors center and found a campground for $38, with water at the site. Smith's campground just happened to be next door to the $70 KOA. We did have to pay an extra $1.99 for Wi-Fi, I'll get back to that.
At the visitors center we got a VIP Adventure Pass that got us Four Passes and transportation. The woman at the visitors center told us to park up at the Butterflies Park for free parking. We navigated ourselves there and I rushed Karen. We got on the bus and started north towards the falls and Karen had forgot the extra cards for the camera. We got off for the Maid of the Mist, it was crowded. In my rushing Karen she discovered her wallet was still in the suit that was locked on the bike. We hopped on the bus ( we figured some one should arrive home with their wallet) on the bus we were talking with the bus driver. She told us the buses only run that far South until 7pm and we should move the bike down to the White Water Walk. Parking is free and the bus runs until 10pm. We moved the bike got back down to the Maid of the Mist. We got in line and it was a push through the mob to the stairs.
This is where we meet Kerry and Al, they rode in from Pittsburgh. We ended up hanging with them all day. They are great people. So, we got to the top front of the boat. We got real wet, it's un-real how close you get it was a blast. The four of us hopped the bus headed up to the White Water Walk, we then headed to the Horseshoe Falls and took pics of the double rainbow. We took the incline elevator and we walked up a block. We saw the "Worst Canadian Driver" being filmed and the four of us about dropped our jaw at the food price. At this point I didn't care, I was about to kill something and eat it. After eating we walked back to the falls and said our goodbyes. We hit the Niagara's Fury 4D movie, and the to the Journey Behind the Falls. We had a great time but it's past 9pm. We wait for a bus it finally comes and the lights are on the falls. We talk to the bus driver on the ride. He drops us off. We're getting on the bike he already made it to his last stop and turned around and gives us a toot as he went by.
We head back to the campground it's a little after 10pm. I try to do the blog. No Internet! Ok getting too late, with late nights and early mornings. So today's blog will be done tomorrow, with why there wasn't any Internet.
