Weekend at Toronto ....... 2010

暑假又來了。
有冇心思思想去旅遊，但要上班。。。
等我帶大家去個小旅行到多倫多，尼亞加拉大瀑布。。。

Toronto is one of my favorite travel destinations. Especially during autumn where the trees and the ground are covered by vivid changing colour of autumn leaves. The intensity and pervasiveness of autumn colour bring out the best of eastern parts of Canada. 

No visit to Toronto is complete without visiting the Niagara Falls. We arrived at the Falls around afternoon. Being a busy tourist attraction spot, finding parking wont easy. We were lucky to find all-day parking for $5.00. So Happy ^o^.... 

After parking, our first stop was to the information centre for maps and leaflets. 

Information Center

There were so many activities to choose from, however, it was impossible to fit it all in the one day. 

So these were the attraction we picked: 

- Maid of The Mist boat ride

- Journey Behind the Falls

- Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens / Butterfly Conservatory

- Niagara on The Lake / Floral Clock

- Horseshoes Falls / Niagara By Night

You can easily travel from one attraction point to another along the Falls via the "Falls Shuttle" bus. For an all day adult ticket is approx $6.00.

Maid of The Mist boat ride takes you up close to the base of the falls. The ride is approx 15mins and you're expecting to get wet..... each of us are given and plastic raincoat to take cover ^o^..... Hope your camera is waterproof.

We get even closer to observing the thundering power of the Niagara Falls. Journey Behind the Falls takes visitors 150ft below, thru a short tunnel to the heart of the Niagara. Again you're expected to get wet and be very carefully with your cameras. Mine is already covered with scatter water droplets. 

Journey Behind the Falls

We stopped for lunch at the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens. In the center of the garden is the protected butterfly conservatory. You can spot butterflies anywhere and everywhere you walk passed. Amazing patterns and amazing colours. Remember, do not touch the butterflies.

To the north of the Niagara Parks Botanical Garden is the Niagara's Floral Clock. The "floral face" is changed twice a season and the clock is known to be one of the largest in the world at 12.2m in diameter. 

Niagara On The Lake/Floral Clock

Our night end with dinner at one of the Falls restaurant overlooking the night beauty of the Falls. Every evening beginning at dusk the Falls are lit in the colours. 

Niagara Fall By Night

I hope you've enjoy Niagara Falls as much as I had. 

XOXO..... Bamoi ^o< .....
