Night at Niagara

We got to Niagara Falls City US at about 8pm on Sat 30 September. We had paid our $5 to the driver for his overtime work in driving us to the falls at night (he has a good thing going).

It was pretty chilly and windy at the falls. And frankly visibility was poor at that hour of the night. Theoretically there was supposed to be a nice laser light show but it did not really light up the falls that vividly. But, very surprisingly, once I took a photo (using the auto feature) the laser light seemed to somehow suffuse the mist which was rising from the falls:


Anyway, after a chilly half hour or so we checked into our hotel, which was clean and drab and dull. I pulled some of my classmates out and we had a drink at the bar across the road. Beer is surprisingly cheap in Niagara, just $1 per mug. The bar itself looked like the bars one sees on TV. But the bartender behind the bar was pretty helpful. She spotted us looking at the menu and told us that the kitchen was closed, but there was a pizza place which was open down the road and if we were keen, she could give them a call and ask them to bring something over. That's what I call customer service!
