Niagara Falls

So, here's the promised update on my trip to the Niagara Falls. We started on Saturday in the early morning and went all the way up North to one of the most spectacular natural sights in this country (ok the most impressive part is in another country but that's a detail... ;-)). As it was only a bit more than 400 miles away we decided to make a day trip out of it...I mean something like 13 or 14 hours of driving in one day is not that tough, right? Well yes it was a bit tiring, but it was definitely worth it. These falls are impressive and we chose a wonderful day (sunny with 30°C) to visit them. The high temperatures were especially handy when we went very close to the falls during the boat tour (btw: if you ever go there, take the tour from the US side around noon...same tour as from Canada, but with less people). If you have a look at my pictures, you may see the cute plastic coats we got there, but you don't see how wet we were when we got out of the boat (and how may pics I had to delete because of water drops on the cam's lens). And before we started to get too dry we also took a short walk next to the American Falls...well we had enough time to dry afterwards anyway... ;-)
