Friday 4th august 2017 – Niagara Falls Ontario Canada

After a long wait to get across the border into Canada we finally made it to Niagara Falls.  I must tell you that they are awesome.  Too hard to describe the amount of water coming over the edge, it was unbelievable.  We did the boat trip up to the face of the falls and got soaking wet.  I might add that it was also raining but still good.

 

This is the first view we got from the bridge where we were lined up to get over the border.

The American Falls on the left and Horseshoe Falls on the right.

See the small dot at the foot of the falls, this is the boat that we are going to get on.  It kind of shows the magnitude of the size.  The boat is not that small as it holds over 100 people.

Suited up ready for the fun

The American side of the falls

The edge where it all falls over, the volume of water is unbelievable.

We also took the tour which takes you behind the falls.  Now to start with we weren’t overly impressed as they just had two tunnels and all you could see was a wall of water.  I was expecting to walk along behind the water but never mind.  

Then we walked out onto a platform which was 125ft below the top of the falls and right at the edge.  The view from here was amazing.  You could see all the water coming over the edge of the falls.  This was a thoroughly spectacular experience.  As usual the photos won’t do it justice.
