Sunday 17th December 2006

This morning was an eary morning as we caught a shuttle to the airport at 6.30am. After having a few problems checking out of the hostel we managed to arrive safely at the airport where we then boarded our flight to Buffalo and arrived in the town just on dusk. The hostel was really friendly and were so helpful and full of information, but being a sunday in down town Buffalo we were a little light on entertainment so the helpful staff suggested joining the Library for $1 and enjoying free unlimited internet. Downtown Buffalo is more of a Financial District so on weekends it is dead quiet and that is not an exaggration. We probably saw maybe 3 or 4 other people on our way to the Library. The main street is closed to traffic as there is a tram that runs along the street so there really isnt any need for people to be in the streets on a sunday afternoon. We spent the remainer of the afternoon in the Library.

As we wandered back down the empty streets towards our hostel we stopped at TGI Fridays for dinner and tested out the local delicacy - Buffalo Wings. They were a little different to what we expected but we managed to clean of our plates before heading back to the hostel for an early night as we prepared for tomorrow - Niagara Falls!
