Category: ahiko in Niagara Falls

We started our Niagara tour from “Hornblower Niagara Cruises (formally called Maid of the Mist)”.   our boat passed by American Falls followed by Horseshoe Falls and stayed in the middle of Horseshoe Falls for a while.  The complementary red poncho was fun to wear, but could not help our situation.  We were all soaked up happily after all.  The next attraction was “Niagara’s fury” – a 360 degree movie with water tricks.  We received a blue poncho at the entrance.  The movie was about origin of the Falls, and it took us to a bird-eye view of the Falls just like a helicopter ride tour.  Yes, we got unexpectedly wet there too.  Then, we went for “Behind of the Falls”.  Our poncho was yellow this time.  We did not get much splash by viewing the Falls from the holes digged on its behind, so I thought we did not need poncho this time.  My thought was wrong.  Viewing the Falls from its side was like standing in a shower.  The powerful and magnificent view is MUST see, though.  Then we went to take a walk by the side of the 109km/h rapid stream gorge.  Our busy day was ended with steak dinner with the Falls and firework view.   This is my third time to visit Niagara Falls and I have been visiting here every decade or so.  Does this mean something?  Is someone leading me to come here??  Anyway, we fully enjoyed our stay in Niagara.

Here we are at Niagara Falls now.  After all the preparation works followed by 11h flight and 3.5h ride to the Falls from airport due to a bad highway accident, we are simply exhausted…  Though we missed fireworks tonight, we were able to see the light-up of the falls.  Our hotel is right in front of the Horseshoe falls and we even got a view of American Falls.  A plate of Cowboy burger was more than enough to make two skinny asians full.  Now we are so ready to sleep!

日本を離れて….、今回の旅は、10年ぶりのナイアガラとニューヨークです。出国当日に、洗濯から始めるというギリギリのパッキングでしたが、お天道様も味方してくれ、ちゃんと間に合いました。行ってきまーす！
