Day 18: Niagara Falls

Dagens rute: (kart)

We've been to Canada and it smells like poo.


After a short drive from Tonawanda to Niagara falls we checked out the most famous waterfall in the world. Niagara falls that lie across the Niagara river between the United States and Canada are actually worth the drive.  We took a short boat ride to the bottom of the falls, got pretty wet, and walked over to Canada. The view of the falls are a lot better from that side of the border, but it is a total tourist trap. Even though most of the booths selling all kinds of stuff were closed down - it wasn't really anything worth seeing except for the view of the falls.


After having no problems crossing the border back to the US, we drove on towards New York. Our plan was to get as close to New York as possible, but we failed.. We only got to the college town of Syracuse 4-5 hours north of New York City.


The main reason for this was that we wanted to do something physical. We found ourselves a Days Inn (our favorite crappy motell) and started looking for a basketball court. We found one in what might have been a sketchy neighbourhood - and played basketball for some hours. Both Lie and Simon had plenty of wins - I lost them all :(  - funniest part about this though were the small kids playing on the other half of the court. I don't think we have ever heard more swearing in such a short time (I'm going to tell mom motherf*****)..


Rest of the evening we just chilled - ate at Chili's - and watched "The Town" at the local movie theater. Do not go to see it. Ben Affleck should never give himself dialog again...
