On London

The real Niagara Falls is beautiful and impressive, but it didn’t quite match up with the Niagara Falls in my imagination. The main difference is the proportions – it’s wider and not as tall as I expected.

We’d been warned that it was quite tacky there, but it’s quite easy to ignore the casinos, 4-D cinema & giftshop crap when there’s a awesomely thundering natural wonder in the other direction.

I’m looking forward to going back when the boats are running in summer. In the meantime, despite seeing the real thing, the Niagara Falls of my imagination is the same as ever.
