Take the time to enjoy yourself.

Canada - Ontario, Niagara Falls

On our 8th day, we were back on the road once again - this time, between Boston all the way up to Niagara. We had a stopover in between to get some brunch:

Their pizza was really oily though. Like it was really dripping with oil but the good thing is that it was all served hot and fresh.

Once again, sky shots. I really love the blue skies. With the currently dropping temperature, we see less and less of blue skies as well. It's funny how throughout our vacation, we did not exactly meet with any downpours or even rain.

So we drove for quite a long while and crossed the border to Canada. Apparently we were considered to be lucky to even be able to go through the border because we learnt later on in school that we should wait for 30 days before crossing the borders because they might make us get another document in order to cross. But we crossed borders without any problem and checked in the apartment. It was owned by this polish lady with 4 dogs. Andrew didn't like this place though, because there were many clowns and dolls placed as decorations around the place.

This one, with the doggy towels were liyen's and my room.

So, this marks my first official time in Canada!

The famous Niagara Falls. I have been wanting to come for a long time now. I can't even remember when I first heard about the falls. I think it was in primary school when we learned something related to it, and since then I have always wanted to see it even though I didn't know where it was at that time.

We were even lucky enough to be there during the period where there were fireworks!

Spot the rainbow!!

The first thing someone said when we saw this was ''Changi Airport!". Someone else protested saying that we flew for 23 hours and drove all the way here only to see the airport we have back at home.

That is in fact a revolving restaurant overseeing the falls.

These looks like specks of dirt on the computer screen, but what I was trying to capture was the dozens of birds flying round and round in circles above the falls.

The birds braving the falls

Maid in the mist - the hornblower that goes as close to the falls as it can.

We were getting wet even from this distance where we were still on the walkway.

Before the great fall

I read somewhere that we should reduce the shutter when taking waterfall pictures to make them come out foamy and smooth like in desktop pictures, so I did.

They were shooting lights on the falls to make them colorful (I can see where Marina Bay Sands got their idea for their laser show).

We found a spot on the grass to sit, not knowing where the fireworks would appear. Coincidentally, we sat right beneath it and it was really spectacular to watch it bursting right in front of you.
