Niagara on the lakes

Had the loveliest night last night at Skylon revolving restaurant, beautiful food, service, ambiance and spectacular clear skies for photos (which are not on my phone here so I can't include)

Wonderful day today. Supposed to be cloudy and freezing but for the most part was sunny and freezing 😃 
Thanks to Trip Advisor we discovered the gorgeous village of Niagara on the Lakes. 

It's the most gorgeous little village with shops and restaurants to die for and tastings everywhere of everything! 

We jumped into a taxi this morning and gave him the limited info we had on this area but not only did he know exactly where we wanted to go, he gave us a full running commentary the whole way, stopping for photos everywhere. He was so full of the history of the area, we were so incredibly lucky to have snagged him!

Along the way to the village, we stopped at The Flower Clock which was originally reportedly designed by a person who was crippled and therefore the hands of the clock were made to look like crutches in his honour. Too early for the flowers to be out but still stunning.

We then stopped at thd point where Niagara a Falls first began which is 8miles from where it is now, erosion has caused it to move to where it currently is.

Have lots of pics but not on this phone so can't include them.

Then it was 'the worlds tiniest church' what a sight! Tiny doesn't begin to explain how little this is. It would probably comfortably hold 5-6 people! It's so adorable!!!

We then arrived at the village. Could easily and very happily spend a day here. It is beautiful and quaint and just adorable. It was a half hour drive out of Niagara Falls where we are staying and I'm so happy other attractions weren't operating which made me explore other options and discover this beautiful village! Loved it!!! 😃😃😃👍😘
