Farewell Peterborough - Hello Niagra


Time to say hooroo to Peterborough and some of our crew.  We had a great time with everyone and it is a pity we can;t continue, but we are all off on our own adventures.










20 of us boarded our bus with Edith our guide - a wealth of knowledge and Dave our driver.  Edith and Dave - you are brave!

We had a brief trip through Toronto - most of us had been there but Edith gave a bigger insight to the area so it was well worth the re-visit.

One of many photo stops!!















Then - Niagara Falls!  Wow Wow Wow!!!!!  We were all blown away by the sheer size and magnitude.  We donned our lovely blue shower plastics and did the Maids on the Midst.  Amazing to get so close to the actual falls.  No dragon boating in this water thanks very much!
















We all had a free evening to take in Niagara - very kitsch!














Tomorrow bound for Boston.

  3. Isn't Niagara the most amazing sight. I could have watched the water falling over the edge for days. It seems that no-one took the optional 'barrel tour' but you do all look sexy in your ponchos. I still have mine from 2005 and it does come in handy occasionally - have managed to keep the whole family dry on a few occasions.
