Someone with a Blogger blog posted about a recent detour (from Toronto) to Niagara Falls:
so we were on our way back to the hotel feeling cheated and i saw a sign on the QEW (equivalent to our yellowhead) i saw a sign that said Niagara falls, 112km… so we just went, spur of the moment at 2pm we went to the falls, i myself have been there before but i don’t really remember much more then the actual falls… on the main street (clifton hill) it is literally like a carnival, its so cool, they have fun houses, haunted houses, wax museums…
