The music is here, the original lyrics are here, and the Baffin Island lyrics are:

Ba-affin Iii-land,
Ba-affin Iii-land,
Baffin Island!
Ba-affin Iii-land,
Ba-affin Iii-land,
Ba-aa-fin Iii-land
Ba-affin Island!

Sing it; it’s quite catchy, no?

Water – magnificent
Surroundings – tawdry

Rather than being inspired by the sublime, the twin towns of Niagara Falls (New York and Ontario) seem to have chosen the path of least resistance and gone pre-fab. And to be fair, I don’t suppose the average honeymoon couple cares awfully much about architecture, decent food, entertainment or quality in general.

There are a couple of things worth doing: Walk behind the falls, and take a boat to the base of the falls.

Fifteen years ago. How is it today?

Stay off the main street, where everyone and their dog becomes your best friend in the known universe if you eat at their restaurant or buy ‘stuff’ from their remarkably over-priced shops.

Other than this minor drawback, the town, the people and the entire area are charming, friendly and dynamic beyond measure.

Come here, do this.

A Paradise in Sweden!

One of the best summers of my life.
