New Jersey - Toronto - Niagara Falls Express



We decided to make a trip to the Niagara Falls on the 4th July after reading the Geronimo Stilton's "Field Trip To Niagara Falls". It was a brief 4 days road trip where we stayed 2 days in Toronto and 2 days near Niagara Fall.

In Toronto, we were looking forward to some great Chinese foods but since we are not familiar with that place, we did not eat to our heart content. The one place that is most memorable and surprisingly good is a Swatow Restaurant. Jieh said for his Mom's sake, he wanted to try some food where his grand parents come from.





We visited Toronto Island and CN Tower too. They were kind of crowded.















In Niagara Falls, we did the "Maid of the Mist" and "Cave of the Wind". Both are fantastic waterfall experience. There are endless spray of water droplets and the boat was shaking topsy turvy when it near the water fall. To end it all, walking directly under the waterfall give you first hand the powerful pounding force of the waterfall. Sydney was brave to try it with Jieh.

WaaAAAAAhh !!




On our first night arriving at Niagara falls, we had a stroll along the river swaddled by the mist. It was quite special.
