Niagara to Buffalo.

Woke up on a wet Wednesday in Niagara and decided to see the falls again for one last time before we leave Canada.
It's raining, its pouring, the nephew's still snoring..

This is the view from the top of the Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side.
Sources close to the author tell us:
'Niagara used to market itself as the "honeymoon capital of the world" . I suppose if romance could survive a daily drenching and the poncho then the marriage may prosper.'

This explains all the wedding pictures in the bnb.

Apparently, from here you can also catch the 52 to North Kensington, via Knightsbridge. Great for the London commute.
Went back to the bus station to catch a relatively quick ride to Buffalo. Previously we've taken Megabus or Coach Canada. Today we took a Greyhound.
The differences between Coach Canada/Megabus amalgamation and Greyhound lie in the welcome/ interaction and the colour scheme. Both have WiFi, both are very reasonably priced. On the Coach Canada/Megabus you get, 'Hello, welcome aboard, have a great trip.' on Greyhound you get, 'TICKETS!' But it's no biggie. My biggest concern was the publicised use of Greyhound to transport prisoners in the past.

Don't just take my word for it.

Though these were only minimum security and almost at the end of their sentences...so...erm..yeah. The closest thing we got to a prisoner was a man from Pakistan who annoyed immigration by failing to provide an address whilst in the US and was threatened with deportation, 'I'm warning you sir, you're over complicating this and its seriously starting to annoy me.' Otherwise we travelled event free and feeling safe. Though the interior is a little grey/ glum.
