Niagara Falls has now offically been ticked off the sight seeing to-do list. Wow, what an amazing experience. Beginning with a grouchy bus driver who was annoyed that people were five minutes late and the fact that she then had to stop at Tim Horton's, we set off on a the three hour journey to the falls. After the driver screaching at us to sit down occationally we finally arrived and became very excited. We then got off the bus and took many pictures before making a quick half hour stop for lunch. We met back out the front of the centre only to take many more photos and to be drentched by the falls- I left with straight hair and it had now become wet and very curly. It took us about an hour to finally make our way over to the Maid of the Mist ticket sales, after making multiple pauses to take photos or to just look at the falls. FD told us many different stories about the falls and how people had previously tried to jump, roll, fall, fly and bomb off the top of the falls, unfortunately most had been unsuccessful and only a couple succeeded. We then purchased our tickets and began to make our way down to the boat very excitedly and taking the occasional photo. The boat then arrived and we raced to the front where we stood waiting for the journey to begin. They had a recording telling you about the falls, how high they were and other different stories associated to them. We passed a couple of the U.S.A. boats and then we began to head into the mist. We didn't need to go in far before we were getting blown around and were drentched from head to toe- Lucky for the ponchos! Many of us risked it and took out the cameras once again taking more photos, we also began to sing 'I'm on a Boat' while the rest of the people on the boat looked at us strangely. Next thing we know we are heading back to shore after an awesome 'Maid of the Mist trip'. We then headed back up to the park where we met and then once again broke off to go and explore the main tourist street which was more like a Fun Fair. There was rides, haunted houses, games, souvenir stores, chocolate and 'candy' stores and lots and lots of tourists. We had two hours, and many different things to do and see. Most of us took to the many cheap souvenir stores, buy presents for people and just looking at all the different things they had to offer.

On our way back we did a quick stop off at the Guiness World Record museum where we posed as the biggest/fatest man, compared our height with the tallest man and sat in a giant chair. We then moved on to win an 'Oscar' before heading back to the park to be picked up by the grumpy driver for the drive home. We arrived back and were told many stories from the others and where shown all the different things they had done, Minnie and Steve had managed to score themselves a Tim Horton's badge and were braging about it, Ryan and Steve had purchased rings that squirt water into people's faces when they look at them, they told us of how Ryan had purchased a burger and had taken it to a homeless guy sitting on the street- which touched everyone's hearts, and of course we all had many souvenirs. Quickly stopping off for dinner before the three hour journey back to school. While stopped Steve had put on the Tim Horton's badge and had walked into the Tim's and said 'I've come to work here' while the lady who was trying to make drinks looked puzzling at him. She then went to get the manager who looked at him confused, so he said 'I've come to work here' but still she was confused so he said 'Can I have a job here, can I work here?' she replied with a straight out NO, and he walked off with a big grin on his face while the rest of us laughed. Back on the bus we then sat on the bus listening to music, looking at each other photos, singing and just kicking back and relaxing. Arriving back at school we then took to the showers and began to upload our photos before heading off to bed. Today we had our last chapel at TCS and the grads for 2009 planted their tree before everyone took to the books for another day of study. Good luck for you all back at home that are starting Year 11 courses.
