Road Trip to Niagara Falls



We took a little road trip from Ottawa to Niagara Falls this week. Instead of following Hwy 401 as we usually do, we took the scenic tour through Brockville, Gananoque, Picton, Scarborough and St Catharines. We enjoyed the drive along the St Lawrence River and especially liked taking the Quinte ferry. The weather was great. Unfortunately for us though, we were caught up in traffic pandemonium in Toronto because of a commercial propane tank that caught fire and exploded on the the north side of Toronto. Hwy 401 was closed in both directions, so we weren't the only ones who thought taking the Gardner Expressway would be quicker way through Toronto. We left Ottawa around 9:30 am and pulled into our hotel in St Catharines around 6:30 pm, so that wasn't too bad all things considered.

Monday was spent strolling around Niagara Falls trying out my new camera. I`ve included a few pictures in the Photo Story board. Some pictures are better than others. Please let me know what you think of them by adding a few comments or by clicking on the rating stars under this entry.
