The people in the part of Ontario (London, Stratford) we visited were genuinely friendly and kind. It's fair to say Canadians are more kind, more civil compared to Americans. I also noticed that there were a lot, and I mean a lot, of immigrants from India who were also very friendly. Not going to post personal pictures, but here's the Niagara Falls from the Canadian side. It was smaller than I'd pictured it would be. It was amazing 5 days.
That's so funny about the falls being smaller - it's what we thought too! They're still wonderful and I love that there's no fee to visit (although the parking cost was eye watering). I'd loved to have seen them from the US side but saved our border crossing back into the US for Detroit. Back when we were in South America, we had days when we crossed from Chile - Argentina and back again in the same day. It was all very easy. I didn't fancy doing that with the US.
We were a bit concerned because of the current US/Canada relationships but everything went as planned. We too thought the parking was ridiculously expensive on the US side of the falls. We were starving but the restaurant next to the parking closed at 4pm. We were like WHAT?? So we spent maybe an hour there, took some pictures and then crossed the border and had our dinner in Canada.
It sounds so surprising that the falls seem smaller in person. We will probably go there in late August, so it's good to know about the parking price and the restaurant. The photos look great, amazing view!
