Montreal - Niagara - Toronto - Montreal

The two-days trip ended as fast as it started ...
Time is not just flew by, it like a hurricane swept through me! But it was so great! Let's start from the beginning ...
- At 6.45 be at the meeting point, please!
- Where should I go?
The city centre. 6.45 am. And it means that I have to get up no later than 5 am ... Not the rosy outlook, but for me fine.
Thus, the rise in 4.30. Outside of the window it is still dark, and my mind need a rather long time to load ... But it's nothing in comparing with what I had to get at this weekend!
Niagara Falls and Toronto !!! Delight!
Prepared all my stuff for half an hour and got to the center for an hour, I was ready for a long journey. 6 hours 6 long hours in a bus ...
Fortunately, as soon as I got there (in a bus) I fell asleep ...
During one of my sleeping times (we did stop for a snack and rest) too cheery voice of one of our tour guides woke me up ... He said something. Making an effort, and pulled out of the ear  an earphone (just one!), I began to listen. The story was about the great lakes, actually about Lake Ontario, along which laid the route of our trip. They were interesting, his short stories about the individual islands (which tere are thousands on the lake!) And about it (the lake) in general. Probably in your concept of the lake - it's something big, but at the same time not really. Allow me to change your opinion. Great Lakes ( there are five of them), though it is possible to take one of them - Ontario, which area is larger than Switzerland!
And on the islands, I could see many houses. People buy the island and build their shelter there. As our tour guide told us there is only one disadvantage: it is not convenient to order a pizza.
Listened, took pictures and went to sleep. Rain was outside the window. Wet, wet and nasty.
The next time, when I woke up, we were already in Niagara. A city built specifically for tourists with hotels, night-life (clubs, bars, cafes, restaurants, shops, casino, amusement, etc.)
A paradise for lovers of night life, romance, nature and modernity.
But we did not come in the best, or to tell the truth we came at the worst possible time! Barely got off the bus, it started to rain. Imagine: rain, wind and waterfalls! Stunner, some tainted weather. But this is not the most important thing!
Water! Gallons of water, with incredible speed tending down to the river, to freedom! Clicking the gate, shouting in different languages​​, conversations - everything is nothing next to the sounds of this, a powerful and ruthless element! Water!
Pausing only for 40 minutes, we rushed to the hotel. Quickly checking in, we rushed to the excursion.
One thing is to look at the waterfall and its beauty from the observation deck on top, and absolutely another - to swim up to the waterfall on the boat. And that's what we planned. This is exhilarating feeling! Water was everywhere. It was not only the rain. It was so still and the water, flying down ona big speed, wind drift and fell on us. I soaked through. I did not even saved a special cape. Kind of an evening shower. But it was really great! So many feelings and emotions. You stand right in front of the amazing and powerful miracle! This is great!
After a wonderful shower, I went to the hotel to dry off a little bit, because then an entire evening of incredible emotions was waiting for me!
As I said, Niagara is a city night life, the city of recreation and entertainment!
So, clean and almost dry, I went for a walk! Night city shocked! There were the lights, music, laugh everywhere! So cool !!! After dinner in a nice restaurant, I began to explore the small centre of night-life. And closer to midnight, I went to the waterfalls! It was great! Water flows in different lights, on the other side, in America (Niagara River forms the border between the two countries) are blazing lights of buildings! Nature and modernity in one place.
But very quickly, I got tired. Deciding not to walk in the rain (do you remember that the weather held up us) tired, I went to the hotel. Sleep!
The next morning, I got up at seven o'clock in the morning. I "shone" like the sun outside the window! It was warm and sunny. About yesterday's rain reminded only occasional puddles on the pavement.
What do people do the first thing after getting up? Right! Go to have a breakfast! Here is the thing for which I love hotels (not all, but many of them!). Take what you want and as much as you want! I was glad, because it was necessary to gain strength before long and difficult day! I have eaten (pineapple was delicious!) and decided: "Why can't I have a little walk to a waterfall?" Fortunately, I walk up to it in 10 minutes.
And I do not regret about my decision! The sun shimmered and sparkled in the deep waters! In the air drops of water fly off the waterfall! This is summer paradise!
But all good things must come to an end, and unfortunately, I had to leave this magnificent place. But I'm not sad, because I was waiting for the trip in the beautiful city, Toronto!
First of all, on arrival we had an excursion to the CN Tower!
Awesome! I was at an altitude of 417 meters and I could admire the magnificent panorama of the city! I looked at the buildings, streets and of course the shore of the lake, which is located near the modern city!
Skyscrapers, parks, green squares, small dots (people and cars), and the chain of streets, interwoven in a fun pattern!
Beautiful view!
After exploring the city with a bird's eye view, and maybe earlier, I went for the walk in the city, mainly to find places for photos.
But I had only three hours! Three hours - it's nothing to walk around this city! I took a lot of pictures, browse the shops and it was time to leave ...
I was upset ...
Time on the road, seven hours, passed quickly (I mostly slept), but when we arrived in Montreal, I had a strange feeling. The feeling that I came home ...

***
Sorry for my mistakes and absence of photos. I'll come home in two weeks and I'll finish the whole work!)
I'll translate everything in 3 languages and I'll download more photos!) Stay with me and have fun at the end of the summer!!!
