Yesterday we finished up our visit to Niagara Falls by mid-afternoon and drove back through Hamilton to our hotel in Burlington. We discussed where to have dinner and decided to treat ourselves to an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant. Yeah, I know, all-you-can-eat does not exactly say "quality"... but this restaurant had some surprisingly good dishes. A teriyaki steak dish I ordered was fantastic. Two kinds of tuna sashimi I ordered were bland, but the salmon sashimi (one of my favorites) was totally on-point. I ordered several pieces. And the eel nigiri was good enough that I ordered seconds, too. Oh, and then dim sum style sesame balls for dessert. Mmm, sesame balls! Much better than dry balls. 🤣
After dinner we came back to the hotel and relaxed for the evening. I went downstairs for a soak in the hot tub. This time Hawk joined me.
This morning has been a slow morning. We ate at the complimentary breakfast restaurant since our store-bought breakfast food was underwhelming. Now we're back at the room relaxing rather than rushing out to visit waterfalls. Why? Because there's not much left on our list at this point. After crossing off all the falls that are dry like Balls there are only two more to visit. And we've got two left here, today and tomorrow— and that's even after shortening our trip by 2 days.
Yesterday afternoon, on the drive back from Niagara, I was thinking to myself, We could have left this evening. But here we still are, for 2 more days. (At least it's not 4!) We'll go out in a bit.
