Canada Fly Drive

[smocky]

Hi,

We're off to Canada ( Stratford, Ontario), in July for a fortnight stay for the 1st couple of days and last few staying with relatives. On the rest will be hiring a car and travelling around.

3 Questions

1,
Has anyone some great suggestions as to where to visit, I know the obvious like Niagra, Toronto and the Great Lakes, but is there some not so well known places. I don't mind crossing over to the states to visit places as well.

2
Has anyone any ideas of reasonable hotel/motels that i should look out for or avoid on my travels or advice that would help

3
Finally I would like to stay over in Niagra for a couple of nights, are there any reasonable rate hotels that anyone can recommend please, and information on extra attractions/tours, entrance fees etc


Thanks for your time

Make sure the car hire company knows you are going to the US, if you decide to do so. There shouldn't be any problem - and probably no extra charge - but they need to do the right paperwork.

And, if it's still like it was when I did it about 10 years ago, the US border guards will charge you six AMERICAN dollars each when you cross over the Rainbow Bridge into the US (presuming you cross at Niagara). They won't accept Canadian dollars, sterling or credit cards. Neither my friends nor I had any US currency, so we were all officially deported from the US back to Canada. The deportation document is one of my most treasured possessions... ;-)
