Glad you had a fab day!

Thanks Mel. I know you told me beforehand not to worry about hiring a car - you were right!

Thanks Bonzo. Yes you can't believe it can warm up so much in just a few weeks. The Here app was such a great tip - our only slight worry was that our phone would die on us! We had to turn it off once we were back on the main road, just so we could find our hotel at the other end. Think we made it with just 2% battery left.

Thanks for reading.

I'm excited to read all about your trip too.

Our son loved Clifton Hill but being 8 at the time it was right up his street and he still talks about how good it was, erm hello what about the big waterfall down the street? Kids!

This made me laugh. I can see why kids might like it. They probably think Niagara Falls themselves are boring.

Glad to help.

Honestly, the drive was fine, especially if you stick to the two main roads and don't go the scenic route on the way home. Well not without a sat nav anyway!
