Week 10 Blog - The Travels Begin!
Finally, we could go travelling. Finally, we could see a bit of the USA! Finally, Myself, Dunstan and Simon were on our way!
We were a bit early for the car, so we had a wander, went for some lunch in Ruby Tuesday's and then it was time to pick up the car! We had a Pontiac G6 Grand Prix. It was sweet! After loading the trunk, and working out our directions, we were on our way to Niagara Falls Canada! The driving was shared between Dunstan and Simon, and when one wasn't driving, they were sleeping!
We made numerous stops for food and rest and after around 8 hours and at about 10pm at night, we crossed the border from the USA into Canada! A hostel was found - H.I. Niagara - and we were all set to go. Myself and Simon took the stroll into Downtown and got ourselves a bite to eat. After this we went to a bar - loadsa hot women in - for a few drinks! Something which we both deserved! Then an endless drunken walk back to the hostel, Simon being shouted at by someone in his room for moving his stuff and then to bed!
Wednesday
The tourists in us came out today, as we were exploring Niagara Falls. As many of other tourists do, we had to visit the Maid of the Mist boat tour! It was fairly expensive, but boy it was worth it. We got our blue ponchos and boarded the boat which took us right up to the mist of the falls! Was crazy, it felt like a torrential rain! So after the trip was complete, I visited WWE Niagara Falls store - it was shit!
Then we had lunch - Wendy's! I found a fly in my drink - after I had drunk it :S - so I complained, got another drink for free and then got my money back! They were probably shitting themselves that I would sue them or something - it is America, ya'know!
We then drove to Toronto, and seeing the skyline as we were approaching in our car was amazing! We had booked ourselves into HI-Toronto for one night and found it hard to find it. But eventually we parked and were in our room. The hostel was sick! To be in the center of a city and only paying $30CAD per night was amazing! It was pretty cool too!
So we went out into town, eventually found somewhere to eat and then eventually found all the bars! We drunk in a really cool bar and then went to queue for a nightclub. We got talking to this group in the queue, but as we got to the front, I and a couple of them were refused entry for dress code (in my case my black superstars!). We were a tad annoyed so we went back to the first bar, and got really really drunk! Was quite funny tbh and there are some photo's to prove this on my facebook! The night was getting old, so we retired to our quarters - absolutely wasted!
Thursday
Today we explored the city. Was great to see some of the sights. Firstly we went to Canada's biggest mall - The Eaton Center. Was great to have a shop there! I got myself a personalised cap from Lids. Was expensive but cool for the memories! We had lunch and after had another wander this time I bought Sean Kingston's CD!
After our spree, we decided to go see the CN Tower. So we walked in the blazing heat, sweaty as fuck, to the tower. We weren't going to go up it because of the cost, but we thought that as we were there, we should do it. The lift to take us up went really quick, so in about a minute we were 100's of feet up in the air! It felt so cool to be up so high and to be able to see all of the sights of Toronto!
We then had decided to take up the invitation to the party, one of the girl's we had met last night invited us too. So we drove to the venue, found a hotel (travelodge) and rang her. It was cancelled! FFS! Anyway, myself and Simon went down to the bar for a few pints, and then we retired to our quarters!
Friday
Our last day in Canada as we were travelling towards Boston tonight began with us popping back to The Eaton Center and then going back to Niagara. The day was pretty boring for this reason as we spent most of it in the Car. The traffic back to USA was diabolical, and we were sat in the queue for Border patrol for well over an hour! We got through the US border with no trouble - this was surprising - and parked up in Niagara Falls New York for something to eat! We went to an Indian buffet, and TBH it was shite! hehe. After this, we made our was to Rochester where we had booked a Red Roof Inn for the night! It is like a motel and to make our experience better, we ordered a Pizza to our room when we got there! Was a right laugh!
Saturday
After a small lie in, we checked out and continued our journey to Boston. It was a long drive, we made numerous stops! When we got to the state of Massachusetts, Dunstan wanted to go see his girl in Worcester. So we looked for accomodation. We found a motel and then dropped him off at Clark Uni. Myself and Simon then had to go and try to find this motel! We found the location - it wasn't a motel, it was for sale! DOH!
So after finding Dunstan and telling him the situation, we checked into the Marriot Courtyard Hotel. Dinner was a nice Chinese Buffet and then back to chill in the Hotel for the evening. Was quite relaxing!
Sunday
We made it to Boston! YAY! We had booked ourselves into a Hostel outside of the city of Boston, so after leaving the Marriot and having a nice breakfast, we continued our journey. We stopped via Dunstan's girl's Uni so he could say goodbye.
After finding the hostel (which was apparently an old nursing home/mental hospital - and it looked like it!) we went into town using the subway down the road to get some dinner. I had a whole lobster which was soooo nice and so good value for money $12.99. WTF! That size would be like $100 in England! I love this country!
There were these amazing streetdancers/breakdancers performing in the square after which was amazing to watch!
After this we found a bar, I said I would drink soft drinks and I was allowed in. We got talking to this couple from New York, who bought me the drinks, took them to the cubicle in the toilet and then I downed them! I only had a few but felt so goddamn drunk hehe! I havent drunken properly in nearly 3 months! They were a really nice couple and after they left, we left and made our way back to the hostel! There were a group of Brits in our room who had travelled to Boston after a camp, so it was nice to talk to them! Bed called again!
Tuesday
An early start on Tuesday morning so we could get a cab to Penn Station, from the hostel, to get on a train to Morristown. It was really busy and the weather was shit. Rain was pouring heavily which meant most of our stuff got soaked! Grr! After an hours ride, we got to Morristown and I had arranged a C.I.T named "P-Nut" to give us a ride to the Car Rental place in Iselin, NJ! Unfortunately he was ill but, true to his word, he got his Mom to give us a lift!
We were a bit early for the car, so we had a wander, went for some lunch in Ruby Tuesday's and then it was time to pick up the car! We had a Pontiac G6 Grand Prix. It was sweet!
