Once we got there we stood to take some pictures for a while, and then started walking across to where we would be taking the 'Maid of the Mist' tour.
We all got some blue ponchos which were included in the price and waited about 10 minutes for the next boat to come along.
The tour was really good. Obviously Niagara Falls is such a famous place that it was cool to just see it, but the boat tour made it even more fun. Got to see it up close and also got totally wet in the process!
This is the other boat doing Maid of the Mist tours. Our boat was the American one on the USA side, and that was the Canadian boat in Canada.
After the boat trip was finished, we ate lunch in the parking lot and then got back in the van to drive to camp. It was a really long trip, Art hadn't booked anywhere for us to camp and we ended up driving in circles for a really long time. When we finally got to camp, we put up our tents as quickly as possible and started getting ready for our last official night out with this tour group. Ithaca is a college town in New York, so we knew it would be a fun place to go out. Art had booked a table for us to all go out for dinner and then we were going to find a bar to go to afterwards.
The campsite was a pretty bad one, but we were only there for about a hour and a half so all we did was get ready to go out.
Dinner was quite nice, I can't remember what we had, I think I had pasta and it was really good. As soon as we were finished we made our way to a bar, it was great because they let Loz in even though she was under 21. It was such a fun last night out.
As soon as we got in there Shannon started ordering fishbowls for us all. The bartender was really nice and friendly and was making us so many drinks. We just had the most crazy fun night. Everyone was dancing and drinking, and Gary and Volker drank an entire fishbowl in about 3 minutes! There's not really much more to say about this night because the pictures really speak for themselves. I did meet a really nice girl in the bathrooms who noticed my Snow White bluebird tattoo and we chatted about Disney and Florida for ages, she was really sweet.

It was an amazing night, we had so much fun. It was sad that it would be our last drunken night out with some of these people that we loved so much. I really didn't want them to leave.
We had to leave the bar at abou 1.30am because they were closing, and we all got taxi's back to camp. On the way I was talking to Justine about going to the Magic Kingdom when we were in Orlando, it was good that someone else was as excited as I was about going there.
This was another night that Gary has loads of photos on his camera from the girls bathrooms, haha!
