Niagara Falls

Canada day sales! Oh yeah, the Americans know how to make some money; when Canada has a public holiday the American malls near the border have sales!

We headed south, stopped briefly at the Niagara falls for a quick photo op, then went over the bridge, back to the USA which Aimee and I had only left 6 days ago.
There is an immediate change in atmosphere when you go back into America, I definitely feel safer in Canada. Anyway, outlet mall shopping is certainly great. We brought some label clothing for very cheap prices, it leaves Dressmart for dead. There was GAP, Oakley, Calvin Klein, Burburry to name a few. All at reasonable prices (except Burburry).
We did some good shopping there, then headed down to another mall further into the US. Again, more name brand shops, but with our $US getting low, Aimee and I really took the time to explore.

We found the Apple shop, and had a play with the new iPhone. It certainly is a cool device, but with only one provider offering it (AT&T, a non-sim card service like Telecom) there's a big delay in people getting their phones activated.
We took some photos with it, looked at youTube, browsed the internet, listened to music, sent text messages but never actually figured out how to make a call.

Passing the cheesecake factory on the way out, it was hard not to go in and just sniff the air, but we managed. There's more time to get back down there i'm sure.

The drive back seemed to take a long time, and everyone was a little nervous coming back across into Canada cos we'd outdone our $50 limit per person. If you break this limit, you have to pay tax on the goods you're bringing back, DOH!
Fortunately it was very busy and we were waved through.

Another successful day done, we're looking forward to a day off tomorrow.
