Niagara

A couple more gym runs and some weights. Nothing to write home about.

Niagara Falls is amazing. We got the Maid of the Mist boat that sails really close to the base of the falls which gives you a better idea just how bit they are. It makes you feel small.

Whilst the falls are amazing and well worth the trip, the town of Niagara is terrible. Imagine Blackpool. That's the closest place I can think of. I know popular places always attract tat but the Canadian authorities have basically said anything goes and you have cheap, tatty hotels as far as the eye can see, thousands of burger joints and loads of horrible attractions. Its not a nice place.

We are off to Adirondack National Park tomorrow for a couple of days in the wilderness before we drive back to New York and then home. I intend to run both days in the forest.
