Niagara Falls....breathtaking !

We drove from North Carolina with the stop in Virginia to West Virginia. And then all the way to the Niagara Falls. This short video shows the Canadian falls. This was indeed the highlight on our East Coast Tour.....



It is no surprise to see those signs all over there...who wants to jump down there?



We did the Maid of Mist and got very close to the falls. This picture shows one boat fighting its way towards the falls.


Of course, we also wanted to get wet in the mist and got the fashionable blue plastic rain ponchos. The picture below shows the American falls in the background.

On the boat we had an amazing view of the Canadian falls as we were approaching the Canadian falls. Well, the view was nearly zero the closer we got because of all the mist. It was hard, or impossible to keep your eyes open.
By the way, I took the video from the upper right corner, when we were watching down the falls.



The Niagara falls were the highlight of our vacation! We indulged in having a very nice hotel with a room with a fall view. Waking up with this view of the Canadian falls with a rainbow is unforgettable! Because of the mist there was a rainbow most of the time when the sun was shining ....
