We went from Orillia (Park Street) to Niagara Falls, Ontario on a local yellow schoolbus. It took us 4 hours to drive there and 4 h to come back, that’s why it was a “fullday visit”. All the French students were in the trip but also some Canadian friends, so we could practise English a lot at the back of the bus !

After a long singing trip in “Sam the driver” ’s bus, we arrived in the city. The teachers took us to the Niagara Falls restaurant, at the top of the revolving Skylon tower with a panoramic view on the Niagara Falls and on the city.

This restaurant was slowly turning round so that everybody could enjoy all the landscape (American border, Canadian countryside and the Niagara Falls).

Then we went in the corridors under the falls where we could see the water falling down, really closely, just in front of us. That was a very impressive moment for every tourist who was there ! We could almost touch the water !

We also went to the official Niagara Falls Shops where we could purchase a lot of souvenirs about the Niagara Falls and Canada. At 2.30PM we went back to the bus to be at 6.30PM at the school in Orillia where our families were waiting for us !

The following day (Wednesday), we had to go back to France after an ending ceremony with every French and Canadian students, the teachers and the Headmaster of Park Street Collegiate Institute !

NIAGARA FALLS: what an experience!
