Day 8 - Niagara Falls, Ontario to Altoona, PA

The time is going way too fast, wish I could s-l-o-w it down.  We were really sad to be leaving Canada today as we have really enjoyed our short stay here.  Definitely want to see more of it in the future.

Time to move on

We checked out of our hotel and headed to the falls for one last look before driving to the Peace Bridge and back into America. 
We were on that boat yesterday!

One last look at the majestic sight


Over the Peace Bridge



We had a long drive ahead of us to Altoona. 

Stopped off at Dave and Bev’s diner, a fabulous homely little diner in a small town called Ellington.  Bev was so friendly and was really interested to hear about our travels. 


To break up the journey we stopped off to find an old cache in Pennsylvania – it was a bit worrying as there were signs warning about wearing orange hi-viz in the hunting season.

– A quick google and as we suspected it is actually the hunting season right now so we dug around in the bags and found our yellow hi-viz, oh well better than no hi-viz at all at least we wouldn’t be mistaken for deer.  I was a bit worried about snakes too so made sure I stamped along as much as I could and used a whacking stick to scare any that might have been lurking under the bushes.

Then it was back on the road stopping off to find a cache in Ohio and checking in at our Motel in Altoona about 9pm.
