The Niagara Falls

Today was our trip to the Niagara Falls. We left school at 5:45 am! And it was snowing!!
Most students used the long bus ride to catch up on sleep. When we passed the Canadian border the police officers scanned our passports and asked many questions. But finally we arrived at the Niagara Falls, which are really beautiful and amazing. Everybody took many pictures and then we were allowed to walk around by ourselves. Some students went for lunch at the Rainforest Café, which was really expensive, but nice.
Some students also went up the Skyland Tower, where they had a wonderful view over the whole area. Furthermore there was the Clifton Hill "Street of Fun" with haunted houses and a wax museum.
On our way back to the Niagara Falls Center we got soaked, because of all the mist of the waterfalls. That was fun!
Afterwards we started our tour behind the falls. We all got really “fashionable” bright yellow rain ponchos and went down to the tunnel behind the waterfall. Everybody went to a platform that was right beside the Niagara Falls. That was a really cool experience although we all got wet from the bottom to the top. So we got back to the bus fast.
To sum it up it was a really funny and interesting day.
