Day seventeen, niagara falls

The ride today was nothing to write home about, it was simply get on the road and get to our destination, Niagara Falls. It was only a 3 hr ride from Elmira/Horseheads so we were there before lunch, dodged the forecast rain and the threatened heat wave hasn,t kicked in yet.

We stowed our gear at the Hotel and walked into the Niagara Falls park, looked at the Falls on the American side first then across the bridge onto goat island to look at the more impressive horseshoe falls which are actually in Canada.

Lotsa tourists of course but it was more impressive than I thought once you were in front of them, lotta water going over all the falls for sure. Easy to spend several hrs wandering around the State Park. We are staying at the Comfort Hotel, the Pointe, so right beside the falls, no need to ride anywhere.

Later on we dined at the Casino. I hate Casino’s with a passion, but the troops had sussed out you just had to “sign up” to their social club and you got a voucher for the buffet meal, which was outstanding. All it cost was the tip for the waitress.

Down into Pennsylvania tommorrow..
