Free Fallin'

Today we headed out to Niagra on the lake, on the drive Emma pulled up at one of her favourite wineries - Stratus - where we tried 4 of their wines, one of which was their famous ice wines. Delish! The winery was beautiful and the woman serving us was thrilled to hear about our travels as she went to Europe for 2 months at our age herself.

On our way to where we were going to get our lunch we stopped off to grab a Tim Hortons before heading to a beautiful picnic spot hidden behind fort Mississauga. We sat and lunched staring out at the still water enjoying the peaceful view. To the right of us was the USA literally just a stones throw away!

After lunch we went by Adam beck power station before heading to Niagra falls! the drive took us past rows and rows of bed and breakfasts, hotels, casinos and restaurant chains. It's so bizarre how a natural wonder of the world could be surrounded by so much... Crap!

Once near the viewpoint Emma dropped us off and we followed the water down to get some great photos. It is such an amazing thing to see and the speed that it flows is unbelievable, I would definitely not fancy doing a Pocahontas leap down to the bottom.

The place was swarming with tourists so we decided to make a new game for you all - 'Spot the Cray' it will be the first of many! Good luck!

After getting snap happy we headed home where we feasted on pasta and salad whilst watching ' The Real Housewives of Vancouver' with the Rabbit and the hound. So cute.
