Travel Diary on July 6, 2024

I walked around the hotel.

I found IKEA


I found BRT Bus stop


It looks way durable bus stop, judging from the surrounding scene...

We ate breakfast rapidly and boarded Lyft to Weston Station.

GO Transit stops at lower platform, while UP Express stops at higher platform.

By UP Express, we headed for Union Station to board GO Transit train to Niagara Fall.

We boarded train

When we arrived at Niagara Fall Station, I didn't know where to go and which bus to ride.
But, my wife told me "This free bus goes to Table Rock". So, we boarded bus to Table Rock.

As soon as we got off at Table Rock, we took some pictures. We walked into Table Rock welcome Centre.

Niagara Fall(Canadian Falls)


Table Rock welcome Centre

My wife bought some souvenirs at the center. From the center, we tried to find out a restaurant which can serve foods with lower price.
On the ground floor of Skylon Tower, we found a pizza shop. After eating pizza, we went up to observation deck of the tower.

Ground Floor of the Skylon is game centre.


It seems to be old style.

We were planning to board a bus to go back to Niagara Fall Station. But, unfortunately, a bus passing through a bus stop near the tower is not operated on weekends.
We boarded Lyft to the Niagara Fall GO station.


The way to the station is Crowded


This screen only shows VIA train, which runs only one per day.

The train consists of old coach(right) and new coaches(left).

We went back to Toronto by GO Transit Train.

Maximum speed is 60km/h. "km/h" might be shown to prevent confusion with "MPH" in the US side.
