Day 3: Niagara Falls - Sodus Point, NY - Sackets Harbour, NY
We awoke to an amazing view of Niagara Falls out of the hotel room window:
After an expensive breakfast at the Marriot ($20 each!), we left the hotel at about 0940, for a quick trip (~5 minutes!) down to the falls to grab the obligatory photos next to the falls...
and we headed back into the USA, after a very rude immigration officer (on the states side). After getting 2 very polite ones, I was starting to wonder what all the fuss people make about them was about - but now I understand!
Leaving Niagara falls we head east along Lake Ontario, and I start to see what I came here for ... endless trees!
After driving for a while through stunning scenery, we arrive in Rochester, NY - which is mostly uninteresting, except a huge Kodak building which was their HQ, now a museum - and continue until we make a stop at an old lighthouse, in Sodus Bay. Inside the lighthouse is a great little collection of local history, and the staff there were very interesting. Sadly, the weather was awful so the view wasn't that great.
We ended up in a quaint little town called Sackets Harbour at about 2000, and stayed in the hotel there for the night.
