Christmas at the Falls

The falls have a effective cloaking device

So I went and saw Niagara, really quite a strange place. The falls and the gorge they have cut out of the lanscape are really beautiful but then the place doesn't quite have the same kind of class. The casinos are quite cool, but it does seem to be a big mess of neon lights, discount souvenir shops and attractions of the sort you'd expect on a pier.

Yeah I played golf with Dinosaurs

Anyhow the key thing was that Stuart was also present so this gave us plenty of opportunities for entertainment. On Christmas Eve we did the exploring but the best bit was Dinosaur Adventure Golf. We played a couple of 18 hole courses in among some the odd T-Rex, Velociraptor, Stegosaurus, Diplodocus and well I'm sure you all know some dinosaur names. It was a pretty good course a few sand traps and a lot of ice traps, very hard to pick a good line over the rather uneven surface.

was also a musician it appears

A very Canadian sign

Christmas day started with a nice little snow shower, which seemed very appropriate. The time difference was handy as it meant all the decent TV had already been on, and was therefore available for watching on i-Player, so there was a christmas special binge, obviously. Outnumbered, Friday Night Dinner, QI, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, The Snowman and of course Doctor Who. All of which were nicely broken up with the odd game of pool, on perhaps the most unpredictable table ever, there was an interesting curve to it and the balls can out in a fairly random order. We managed to find ourselves a christmas dinner, in the Hard Rock Cafe, so could see a guitar belonging to David Bowie while eating turkey. After that we popped off to a bar and watched some christmas basketball, all in all it was a pretty good christmas.
