A chilly wind was constantly blowing in from my nearby window. Finally, the driver remarked, "Change my seat." However, it is careless to ride a bus with a pointless window.

Although they was delayed of 30 minutes and also lots of traffic on the road as we left Toronto for Niagara that was by nature ok we couldn’t do anything to that. Finally the drive was ok. We arrived right in front of Niagara what we came here for. It was exciting and perfect time to enjoy the Breeze
