We stayed at the Rainbow Hostel Canada side for $5o per night. I guess we could have gotten a hotel for a few dollars more, but I made an executive decision; Perhaps a lifestyle one. We had our own room with two bunks, a shared kitchen, deck, and communal activities with new friends. It would have been just fine on the comfort level exept for the first night, which was so hot: A family of four with two very young children (2 and 4!) in the room next to us left one night early because they couldn't take the heat. They're from Norway - go figure! But we withstood the heat assisted by lots of mist, compliments of the Niagara, and the next two seemed not so bad in comparison!

Note the shine of sweat on Ui-Seng's face!
Evains does not seem to lack for sleep despite the heat!

Basketball with Aussies Daniel and Gavin.
New friend Gavin from Australia.
New Friends Daniel (trying to be short) from Australie and Esch from Toronto working the desk. Ui-Seng observed that because she does not smoke, that's why she has beautiful skin!! (Note Evains trying to be tall - and wide?)
We walked the waterfront promenade down from the hostel. This was our first view of the Falls. Gorgeous!
The Maid of the Mist.
Journey Behind the Falls.
The force of the Falls creates Class VI rapids downstream which we see along the Whitewater Walk.
We head north to the Butterfly Pavilion and Botanical Gardens for the afternoon.
