Niagara Falls

Hello everyone! Today, I'm finally uploading the pictures from the Niagara Falls trip that I went on last Saturday. It was really well organized by our exchange coordinator, Michelle, thank you! I haven’t had time to post earlier because we have had our first week of real lectures and guess what, we actually have homework that I haven’t had for years! I also got to know that I’m allergic to Penicillin, the hard way :-)

Ok for what you all have waited for, the pictures!! I have a lot more pictures, but since this blog is quite hard to upload many pictures at once, I only post these 27 below, enjoy! ;-)

This were the bus we went with, it's the team bus for University of Windsors different athletic teams. Compared to Sweden, every University over here have their own sports team that comptes with eachother, quite fun actually! So we went with this bus at 7 in the morning and the ride took about 4 hours... But Michelle had some movies that we watched so it went really fast!


Now we have arrived to Niagara Falls, these are the falls on the american side, seen from Canada. If you didn't know this already, the Niagara Falls lies just between Canada and USA, so each side have their own waterfalls, however the Canadian falls is the most famous ones.


Me and Cathy making our amazing pose with the Canadian waterfalls behind, don't let the picture trick you that the falls are small, we are quite far away taking the picture.


For a second there, I thought we were in London, until I realised that we actually have nice weather...

The canadian falls, seen without me and Cathy, which is quite sad, will probably photoshop our pictures in :p


Are great "Uniforms", the are not bulletproof, but even more amazing, waterproof!!!


Cathy imitating either a Lemon or a Cathy after too much fast food...

Me, looking better than ever, Brad Pitt, you have competition!!!


We are just under the Canadian falls as can be seen by the picture, I really wish I could explain how cool it was with the Amazing heavy sound from the water, the spray of water in the face, the smell and so on...


Now we are actually under the falls, they are 600 meter wide, but the tunnel is only 200 meter, it was cold and dark but cool.


Here we are behind the falls, it was quite sad that we couldn't go closer, but it was something about "security" or something fictional like that :p


Beautifull Cathy with the american falls and the bridge connecting USA and Canada


The edge of the falls, it was soooo beautifull!


And of course, a picture is nothing if not me and Cathy are in it, so here we are!

Canadian falls!


a horse... don't know what that has to do with anything, but here you go... a horse...

The smurfs are preparing for an attack, be afraid! Be very afraid!


Yay, we are going on a boat, but not any but, the famous "Maid of the mist" that will take us out to the falls!

Closing in...


The falls! however, it was very hard to caoture the real experiance with a small digital camera, but I hope you get a glimps of how cool it was!!!!

We went even further in with the boat, but no good picture... We had water all over us, yay, free shower!!! But I forgot my shampoo :-(


The great France and Swedish team! Thank you gusy for a very fun day!
There were not only the falls to see, there were criminals too!!! The whole downtown were filled with fun things to do, like a huge amusement park.

Burger king, were all Frankensteins eat!


On our hunt for food, we eat at Hard Rock Cafe, and I have to say, I've eaten in Hard Rock Cafe, both in NYC and here, and it taste sooooo good! So I can grately recomend it if you walk past sometimes!

The decoration is great as always, here are REAL elvis stuff!


After the food, we went to the bus that took us home in the evening. It was a great day with great weather and great company, a very nice experiance. However it's a thing that needs to be experianced because it's so hard to show with pictures, but I hope I showed some part of it!
I'm going to bed now, have class tomorrow so need to be rested. On saturday, we are going to Cedar Point, which is the worlds biggest amusement park which is located in USA. More about that later, good night people!
