Well, written, throw the key "Giuseppe" and look for where to eat breakfast (and Giuseppe was not offered to us to eat). IMPORTANT: If you are not local (and you are not local) - then it's pretty tricky to navigate directly to the issue of catering in a strange place ... We had a Special Breakfast in what is the next fast food ... taste good, pleased nenmogo only coffee. We know that falls somewhere nearby, but we need a decent hotel motel.Proehav with 4-5 unsightly places we see here is Little bargaining, with a thick and can be seen so good resepshenistom spectacles, brought his score, instead pledged $ 85, we have you done within 65 with taxes and breakfast, Freestuff Internet with a password, pool, playground, etc. Motel called Ekonolodzh.Iskrenne advise.Rooms are large, the bed is not queen, namely King Give himself up and go look for a waterfall.

Half of the homes are pathetic, the other half as though abandoned, also closed a number of catering points, also closed a huge mall near a waterfall ... a lot of hotels and motels, but the closer to the waterfall so they are more expensive.The nearest Holiday Inn.Kstati in the parking lot of the hotel is very convenient to park for free .. and we did No, definitely, to live permanently in Niagara Falls is not the American dream ... ... Time to go back to the waterfall - ride on the boat Virgin haze and watch the night lights. Directly in front of entrance to the waterfall is a long rotation, which divides into two, so here ... very easy, almost distracted from the road, turn right at the Rainbow Bridge (Rainbow-sm. pictured above), which is located at the beginning of border crossing points. On the other side of the bridge-Canada. As you can imagine it is a checkpoint and we were ... no, turn it back to take an opposite .. you can not, unnecessarily travel machine in the same direction.
