Niagara Falls
Posted by Unknown on Sunday 13 January 2013.
On Friday we caught the Megabus to Niagara. A month or so ago Megabus was running a promotion where you could 'buy' bus tickets for free - so off we went to The Falls for the night.
We got there around 9:30pm on Friday and caught a taxi to the Embassy Suites hotel, which we had bought on Groupon. We were upgraded to the Junior Presidential suite(!) as they had already allocated all the King sized rooms with views of The Falls (which is what we had booked), and received a $40 coupon for TGI Fridays and $50 to spend at the arcades. With breakfast included (and complimentary drink at the managers reception if we had been there in time) it was a pretty good deal for $125.
On Saturday we walked around Niagara and found a little shop selling British chocolate and sweets. We never fail to be excited by such discoveries even though the prices are always so high! Luckily we received some Cadburys chocolate for christmas (thanks mum and Ruth!) but I got some Maynards Sports Mix they were selling off and Mike some Jaffa Cakes.
We had lunch at our favourite restaurant in Niagara - Bravo Pizza, and discovered you can buy Beavertails just off Clifton Hill! Skor bar and cheesecake, delicious!
We had a lot of at the arcade spending our $50 which went so far we kept some of the credit for next time. Our favourite game was the one below where you had to stop the marker between the yellow lines on the number 10, then 20, 30, 40 and the jackpot successively, and you receive the number of tokens corresponding with the highest number you successfully completed. We reached the 40!
We played pool, pinball, car racing and motorbike racing games, ball throwing and various other games. We managed to get 564 tokens by the end. It sounds like a lot but when we looked and what you could get in exchange for the tokens, we couldn't even get a box of chalk!
