Hey everyone, just got off the phone to Australia, and i can say i am sad to be missing the meal mum is putting on this year, it sounds amazing! I will sleep easier knowing however that she has promised to make me the ham when i get back.
So, Christmas eve was spent at Niagara falls, however, sadly Rach was too sick to come with us. As i mentioned she was suffering pretty badly from a dodgy KFC burger (who knew that was possible?)
. The same burger which led her to go a little bit crazy when buying Christmas presents and decorations. As you saw, our hotel room was looking pretty amazing, with a lit tree, stockings and a pile of presents higher than her expectations for snow on Christmas. (very high)
On that note, although it didnt snow today, there is snow around on the ground, so as far as im concerned it was a white Christmas, it was defiantly cold enough, -7 at 9am and got up to a toasty warm -4 today before dropping back to -6 by dinner time.

On to Niagara Falls
So as i mentioned, Rach was far too sick to come with us to Niagara Falls, which was a real shame, she would have love the overpriced nick nack shops and range dead rabbit's which have been turned into hats, not to mention the wine tasting! Unfortunately, rather than spending a day wine tasting, freezing at the side of the falls and walking through an endless maze of expensive post cards and over priced Canada themed rubbish she spend the day praying to the porcelain gods.

| This was a viewing area for the back of the falls.. the water was flowing past sounded like a train or an 747 at full throttle... couldtn see the water for the ice... |
 |
| This was the walkway which was supposed to have a view fo the falls from behind... |

Merry Christmas guys! Hope you're all enjoying yourselves :)
ReplyDeleteMichael, nice to see you finally got yourself a coat! xo
Nice pics Mike, I appreciate you putting up the picture of the railing with the scarf on! That is called "yarn bombing" or "knit graffiti" - truly the most boring kind of graffiti there is.
ReplyDeleteStick it to the man! Politely. With a little scarf on a railing. Hmm...
Looks like fun Spikel. You look particularly dashing in these photos.
ReplyDeleteI am making up for my lack of blog commenting presence. I'm at work currently and it's 4 am, just been reading through all I've missed! I would say you're very entertaining however I fear your ego may explode, so I'll hold off.
Lots of love cuzin! xo
