We woke up to a beautiful blue sky today! Hoorah! We are going to do some exploring for sure. Then the question arose: What do we do with Josh? The last time we left him for a few hours to replenish the food stocks he got stuck into the garbage bin and made an awful mess everywhere. So it was decided, he would make the trip down to Niagara Falls with us. We packed him a survival pack of water and his bowl and a towel to sit on in the new car. There was some kind of major bicycle race so the highway was closed in sections, we spoke to the Garmin and manged to navigate around all the confusion.David buckled Josh into his seat by tying the strap through his harness and he settled down for the hour long trip.

We eventually found parking as all the Canadians and tourists had decided that the Falls would be a good option on such a fine day.We strolled along the front of the 2 sets of the Falls and decided, like all good Canadians, that the Canadian part of the Falls was definitely the most spectacular. Josh created quite a stir as he jumped up on the stone wall overlooking the Falls. His ears blew back in the wind and he snapped at the clouds of spray that hit him in the face.There might have been a reason why we saw no other dogs around, it could have been because they were not allowed into a Parks area or maybe Canadians don`t take their canine friends in their cars on long trips. Anyway our furry child certainly had a ball and has been lying in a collapsed heap ever since we arrived home this afternoon.
