Ready for the mist
At about 9:30am or so we headed to the falls – Niagara Falls that is. I just discovered today that I was misspelling it so I went back and fixed at least a couple of places. The first thing we did was take a ride on the “Maid of the Mist” boat to the foot of Horseshoe Falls. There are several “Maids” with a pair operating out of each side of the river below the falls, i.e. the American and Canadian sides. The boats leave the dock every 15 minutes throughout the day in season. They give each passenger a “souvenir” poncho to wear for protection. They don’t tell you that you are going to need it and that you probably need some waterproof boots too. Here is a slide show of our visit to Niagara Falls.
After the boat ride we had a Starbucks coffee and waited for the IMAX show about Niagara to begin – Carol loves IMAX movies and I do too.
Niagara on the Lake
After the IMAX show we got back into the Tracker and headed east to the little town of Niagara on the Lake. This place is a must-see for anyone in the area. Picturesque
One more ride past the falls and then back to the coach to plan for tomorrow – we still have no firm plans – and back to the States.
