Arno's brother, Chris, visited us for the weekend and we took him to see Niagara Falls and Marineland. These pages describe what we did, and should also help anybody interested in visiting the Falls, decide what they would like to see and do.
We left the car at the car park where you can take the People Mover (a hop-on-hop off bus service) to Niagara. The People Mover is more or less the best way to get around in this city, because you don't have to worry about parking, or driving, and it costs very little. For the five of us it was CN$13 to leave the car the whole day and to use the buses as often as we liked.
We got off at stop number 5 - and the Falls were totally different than the first time we saw it a year ago. Beautiful, wonderful and majestic. No other words. And there was a full rainbow! I took loads of pics.
Some fast facts for anyone interested:
Did you know - The Canadian Falls (or Horseshoe Falls)
is 2,200 feet wide at the crest (675 metres), and although 170 feet
(52 metres) high, the river's depth beneath the Falls is 184 feet
(56 metres). The American Falls are a short distance from the Horseshoe Falls
in the same gorge.
The higher resolution, used for all the other pictures. Is there a difference? Doesn't matter!
There were LOADS of people. All snapping away at the magnificent scene in front of them. The falls you can see here, are known as the American Falls. The Horseshoe falls are to the right. The bridge is called the Rainbow bridge, over which you can walk between the two countries. Visitors from elsewhere might need a passport, and/or multiple-entry visas for America and Canada.
