Niagara Falls - Apr 23

The highlight of the whole semester was to come the last month. My school was over, all (two) exams successfully passed and more than a month to spend.
22.4. Franta and Ivan (aka Pivko) landed in Toronto, happily found a bus and in the evening they arrived to Waterloo. With my friends we prepared a little welcome ceremony in Park st Mansion.

Next morning (it was Friday) we picked up our car from DiscountCarRental (we got a white Corolla with a very nice total price $46/day) and left towards Niagara. The crew for this time: Franta, Pivko, Andy, Celine and me. Without a map and with just a little detour we reached the destination and successfully found a free-of-charge parking (we saved $14 at the edge of a forest :)). We couldn't have chosen the better day as the weather was just amazing! Lovely spring sunny day even allowed us to see a rainbow spreading over the water mass. The falls are definitely more majestic from Canadian side, and it's worth a trip. But I wouldn't spend a night there as the city is made in a very ugly disneyland style and everything is overpriced.
After a vision experience we made our way to Niagara-on-the-Lake town few km further down the river. We took a sandwich dinner on a pier watching a sunset and then drove back home. Both driver and a navigator were changed, which led in loosing the way again and ending up almost in Toronto :D Soon after midnight our expedition successfully reached home.
