Today would be another travel day but we would end up in Buffalo,NY about 20mins drive from Niagara falls.
Sam and I had breakfast whilst Jill brought all the cases down from the rooms.
Once we had checked out we loaded the cases in the boot and around Sam before heading on our 4.5hr journey north west.
The road conditions were horrendous, the rain drops were huge and there was lots of standing water everywhere. We were even hearing local weather warning reports for flash flooding coming through the car radio which sounded very dramatic.
Fortunately later on the rain abated and we could see the scenery again. We drove through some glorious scenery again and passed through some interesting towns. All of which had a theme, the all consisted of an industrial estate, a cluster of wooden houses and a graveyard.
About halfway we stopped at a convenience store where I got a wrap and some potato chips for lunch,as well as a coffee. It gave us the opportunity for a much needed rest.
The remainder of the journey was pretty smooth and we arrived in Buffalo about 4.30. We found the hotel despite me navigating us to the wrong one initially,luckily ge correct one was just around the corner. The embassy suites was a very nice hotel,with a cozy room, an onsite restaurant and a free guest laundry that i will be taking advantage of whilst I'm here.
We arrived just in time for the complimentary drinks reception at 5pm which allowed us 2 free drinks each!
After this we headed to the nice on site Italian restaurant where I had a lovely pepperoni pizza.
We chilled out in our rooms for the remainder of the evening as we were all in need of a wind down after a long day travelling and hustling the cases in and out of hotels.
We need all our energy for tomorrow though as we will be exploring the wonders of Niagara falls.
