Back from canadaland!
Got back from Canada on sunday afternoon =) I have decided it is too hot here, even though so far everyone's told me this is like way cooler than it's been in a few weeks... lol. I have become accostomed to rain every other day, just for a few minutes, to clear the humidity and yuckiness. Boooo.
Anyway, Canada was awesome. I had a superb time, and was staying with great people so that made everything so much better too =)
And now... photos!
Grand Bend beach, in Lake Erie. Other side of the lake is the USA lol.
Seagull (1 of a million or so...) at Grand Bend
Lighthouse at Grand Bend

Bump, heh. I found these signs pretty cool, especially when trying to imagine them here. It'd be like a solid wall of yellow on the side of the road.

I discovered that if you have a plastic bag, meerkats will stop ignoring you, and come right up to the glass to say hi and jump up and down. lol

Hello
Deer park - loooads of wild deer in here, but they're pretty friendly, and most will sit next to you or let you pet them =)
Flospy ear
Niagara Falls view from our hotel room. There was a jacuzzi too! If only we'd had enough time to try it out lol. It even had like a big window instead of a wall, so you could open it and see out to the falls heh
again, from the hotel room
up close
From the walk behind the falls
behind the falls again
our hotel, the Marriott
Horseshoe (Canadian) falls
Bridal Veil (American) falls
American falls, from the Maid of the Mist boat. The boat went like right up to the canadian falls, and just kinda stayed right there for a couple of minutes - it was insane. You can feel that the boat is trying to move forwards but the current is so strong it just stays in the same place, and the water underneath just gets rougher and rougher till you have to hold on to something to keep standing lol. It was pretty awesome, but kinda scary :P Oh, and the funny blue raincoats the give you... definitely worth having lol. Camera got a few showers behind the falls... so I decided not to take it out near the canadian falls. Good thing too, I don't think it'd have worked afterwards lol
Heading into the butterfly conservatory
Before going into Marineland lol
Me petting a deeeer =)
In front of the canadian falls. We had both just woken up =/ And I had one of the worst sleeps ever lol
Later that day, on the white water walk =) - you basically walk down a wooden walkway near the class 6 rapids - it's pretty cool =D
Dinner at Swiss Chalet with Ryan and his family (including his nanna, nannu and aunt's family)
Lots of pics, may take a looooong time to load =/
