Walking from Canada to USA in 20 minutes

After our 2 weeks on the road we gave back our Jeep and flew from Denver to Toronto, Air Canada. Great flight, no problems. Got a transfer from Toronto airport to Niagara Falls. To save booking a taxi across the border I did my research and identified the Crowne Plaza was the nearest hotel to the Rainbow Bridge on the Canadian side. We were booked in to the Comfort Inn The Pointe - the closest hotel to The Rainbow Bridge on the USA side ...so....
The taxi transfer dropped us off in Canada and we walked across the Rainbow Bridge, suitcases and all. It took about 20 minutes to walk across, clear customs/ border control etc and get to our hotel. Easy peasy. Saved us a lot of money and time as the vehicle queues on the bridge were massive but there were no people in front of us on the bridge.

Niagara Falls is huge and spectacular. People say the Canadian side gives the best view but we saw them from both sides and from the Maid of the Mist boat right up to them and I don't think it matters where you see them from as they are just awesome.

We spent a full day exploring all the different views of the falls and to be honest - that was quite enough for me. There are a lot of touristy things in the area, including casinos but they didn't appeal to me - although they are clearly very popular with others, as evidenced by the volume of people in the area.

Next up Amtrak trains and Boston.
