Niagara Falls

Found a parking spot for the bike, cost $10 for the day. (Cars are $18) Took a tour package of the 4 most common tours -White Water Walk, - Hornblower Niagara Cruise, -Journey behind the Falls, and  -Niagara's Fury. and not to forget a 2 day pass on the local "WEGO" bus that you can hop on and off as required. And of course walking along the cliff with everyone else. Ticket agent said it wasn't very busy today, so line-ups will be short. She was right but still, there was a lot of people.

Getting Close

Pretty fricking close

Journey Behind the Falls

The tunnels are man made. They cut 2 openings under and behind the falls 1 100 meters and 1 200 meter or 1/3 the way out behind the falls. The noise of the water overhead was the most impressive.

Niagara's Fury

2 movies, one animated, sort of corny, about how Niagara Falls was formed.  The other was a 4D 360 degree movie. Yes we had to wear our plastic ponchos again. This time the poncho colour was blue. You need to be there to experience it. Picture and Video taping was not allowed.

When we got out of the movies, came outside and fabulous rainbows had formed over the falls. Too Cool!
