It took us two hours to get to niagara falls. we caught a taxi to the hilton, and the taxi driver was realy nice, he even said that he didnt mind waiting to take us to the jet boating after we had just put our luggage into storage at the hotel, so he came back straight away to get us and we were on our way to Niagara-On-The-Lake, where the jet boats were. We got to the jet boat tors palce ealry, so the taxi driver took us for a lil drive around the main street for no charge, which was really nice, and he even booked us a time to come pick us up to take us back to the hotel.

Jet boating was a bout an hours trip. We went up the river a lil ways to where there was a spot called “Devils Hole” and “The Whirpool”, It was a great trip to do, lots of fun, We both sat up the front, which were the best seats we think, especially when they did spins and that because we were like right into the water and that. It wasnt the best for taking photos, but hey it was heaps of fun.

Once we got back to Niagara Falls. We checked in to our hotel room. And we were gobsmacked at room, it was awsome, there were two bedrooms (one for Alec and one for Jai kidding) we asked for a city view room because it was heaps cheaper than the falls view rooms, but we were lucky enough to get a room that wason the side so we actually got a nice view of the falls anways!!! :D.... After we settled into the room we went for a walk down to the falls, and took loads of photos, and seeing them in real life is unbelievable, there realy quite special! We went down to where you could go underneath the falls, now thats kool, you get drenched but the give you poncho's you are so close to them. But the poncho's dont do much because of the wind, Alec nearly got blown over hehe. We went back up to the souvineer shop. bought some bits and pieces.

On the walk back up to the hotel we went into a lil movie thing, it was a 4D story of the falls. but hmmmm it was strange also, something about the spirit of the falls or something really strange. Our advice dont waste your money on going to see those ride/movie things, if you ever see one, they dont seem to be ever any good.
