Niagra Falls to Lancaster

Bit of a sleep in and then headed off to Niagra Falls around 9.30.  Stopped at Niagra on the Lake for lunch, its one of those quaint little villages with lots of gift stores.  Grandbaby scored again!  Absolutely lovely spot.  Followed this with a quick run into Niagra Falls and the Maid of the Mist cruise.  Lots of mist as it was raining.  The Falls are unbelievable and thoroughly enjoyed getting wet and miserable at them.

Went to our hotel, the Hilton for a change, and what a difference, spa bath, seperate shower, big bed and views right at the falls.  This is what we had been expecting all the way and have been bitterly disappointed in the Fairmonts.  The Falls put on a light and firworks show after dinner and we just managed to stay awake for that.

Didn't want to get up this morning, 10 days of a rotten headache (how Nic puts up with it is beyond me) and today Alan's germs finally got me.  Feeling like death warmed up but no time to stay in bed as we are off to the US of A.

Border crossing was no fuss and breezed thru and have spent the day on the bus.  Nice countryside but becomes boring after a while, watched the movie Witness so we could get into the Amish mood as we are going there for dinner tonight and visiting a farm tomorrow.

The bus stops every couple of hours for comfort stops and always at a eatery and this afternoon it was at a lolly shop.  Brought my peanut brittle and scampered out before I was tempted to get more and once on the bus all the women were asking if I found the baby store at the back of th shop as apparently they had great stuff there and now that everyone knows I'm about to be a grandmother all the other grannies keep finding things for me to buy.  anyway bub missed out at this stop.

Arrived at hotel and had to get ready for the Amish dinner.  I opted to go to bed and Alan went to the dinner. In typical style he turned off the computer on his return without checking if the blog was saved and lost all the info.    Believe he enjoyed the dinnerit but he can't be bothered writing about it in the blog and I couldn't be bothered retyping everything and the photos won't load so that will have to wait for another day.
