Back to work. My days-off-season ended. Two days in work and I wanna travel again ;) However, back to my trips. On Thursday night (at 2 AM!!!) we set off to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. All together in ten people and two cars we hit the six hours lasting road to USA-Canada borders. I was driving and I have to tell u, it's not the best thing to drive during the night without getting any sleep before. But, at this time I still didn't know that it wasn't so bad in contrary to trip to Boston, where we went to a day after Niagara Falls and with even less sleep.
Anyway, during early morning we got to Buffalo, which was my idea to stop in on our way to Niagara Falls, because it's only half an hour from the falls. And I'm really happy that we stopped by there, even longer than we planed, almost for whole morning. Buffalo is kinda industrial city with this special type of architecture typical for those cities. This architecture is combined with historical buildings, especially build in the 20th century, kinda art deco style, which I like very much. The city hall is an example of this architecture. And there are, of course, couple skyscrapers. All together it makes an interesting mix of postindustrial city. There is a strong student's element in Buffalo, when there are couple universities with beautiful campuses and many students around.
From Buffalo we got to Niagara Falls, unfortunately just to American side, which was beautiful, but there is a better view on the fall from Canadian side, from where you can better see the main falls. Because there are the biggest Niagara Falls and right next to them artificially built American Falls that are still very impressive, but aren't the original Niagara ;) Finally it didn't matter that we didn't see it from Canadian side, because we took a cruise on the boat so we got right to the middle of the lake where was water falling from the falls. You can see the pictures from there and from Buffalo in a gallery below. And about the trip to Cape Cod and Boston where we were during the weekend later...
