Chasing Waterfalls

 Thursday morning in Buffalo looked a lot brighter weather wise than yesterday, the sun was even trying to peak through the clouds. 

Today would be a busy one as we had booked the maids of the mist boat trip in Niagara Falls but we were also driving 4.5hrs east across to Scranton in Pennsylvania. We were using it as a stop off on route to Philadelphia. 

So after an earlier breakfast we checked out of our hotel in Buffalo which again had served us very well.

It only took one trip in the elevator with all our cases and the car was waiting for us by the entrance.

We bundled all the cases into the car and set off. As we drove away from the hotel a member of staff came running after us waving their arms. They stopped us to tell us the boot was still wide open. Good job they saw it otherwise my cases might have ended up on the interstate!

After no more dramas we arrived in Niagara falls again. It was a little busier than yesterday, due to the weather and the fact that it was the first official day all the attractions opened. We had done the viewing points yesterday so headed straight for our boat trip.

To get there we had to go on the observation platform which gave us even more breathtaking views of Niagara Falls. We stood and just soaked it all in again before heading to our boat tour. The staff were great with getting Sam on the boat. 

This was a 20 min boat ride that took us straight into the horseshoe falls. The views were breathtaking and so were the gushing sounds from the falls. You could see nothing once right in the falls because you were engulfed by mist and spray. Our ponchos kept us from getting wet through.

An amazing experience we’re so glad we went back for!

Now we were off to Scranton as we drove through more towns and more mountainous scenery. We stopped off for a KFC halfway. The weather was absolutely freezing, 45 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s now I regret not packing a woolly hat!

We got to the comfort suites in Scranton in the montage mountains about 7pm, checked in and just chilled out for the evening. Did some planning for Friday as we will be off to Philadelphia for WWE Wrestlemania weekend which is sure to be a great experience.
