Niagara Falls is a must visit for any tourist who visits either USA or Canada and it is said the view is better at the Canadian front. Fortunately, during a visit to Toronto, I with my few friends decided to visit this tourist attraction.
We tried to find out the possible options to explore Niagara on a Sunday morning but decided to drive 135 KM through the was a tough winter morning when we decided to drive 135 km to Niagara Falls and planned to return by the evening.
We started at 10:00 am but looked like it was still 04:00 am. It was so cold that it could have killed us. It took us about 30 mins to remove the snow from the car, clear the drive way and warm the car. During those 30 min, I was cursing myself for taking this decision to visit Canada during winters
Canadian roads were good for the season, it took us almost 4 hrs to reach Niagara. The town is very small. Due to such cold conditions there were not much tourist and parking was easily available The temperature was -35oC but the winds were very strong and despite of fully covered I felt as if the winds were cutting through my body.
The place was completely frozen, only a small part of water was visible and that it was freezing during its descend. Part of it also converted to mist and the feeling was really vey good.
There is also a small coffee outlet nearby, to warm ourselves we stayed inside the coffee shop for sometime and soon planned our trip back. On the way, at the USA Canada bridge there is a duty free shop, we thought that we could do shopping there but was told that it was strictly for the people leaving for USA on the same road and none other.
I had the experience which generally most people don’t have, probably I will plan a trip soon during summers to visit the place again.
