Water just keeps on flowing, it’s incredible and definitely a must see on the Canadian side. Americans don’t get a very good view at all from their side.
We came to Niagara on an off-peak season so the city was pretty much deserted. The city has a bit of a Las Vegas feel. Major differences are it’s clean, there’s no smoking in Casinos and far less people around. If we had visited at a busy season, it might have been a different feel altogether.
Skylon Towers, Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe, quirky haunted houses and roller coaster rides are around the city too.
The obvious main attraction is of course Niagara Falls. MAGNIFIC!!! We were in awe of the falls. They’re mighty in size and sound, but there’s something soothing listening to the masses of water constantly flowing like a never ending story. A rainbow even appeared – so so COOL, however the gold was in the water and we weren’t keen on catching hypothermia... LOL... it would have been awesome to hang about and stare at the falls forever however the weather was COLD!!! It was so so COLD!!!
We got a taste of the COLD on our first day in Niagara when the wind and hail smacked us in the face. Never felt anything like it. It was apparently only -5 degrees celsius, which we coped with fine in Aspen, but it felt a lot colder than that in Niagara.
We would go back there, perhaps during a warmer time of year though ;O)
NOTE: In case you didn’t know, there are two falls that make up Niagara Falls. That is, the Canadian horse shoe falls and the American falls that’s closest to Rainbow Bridge (i.e. bridge dividing USA and Canada).
Quirky Facts: Outside of Planet Hollywood there’s a hand imprint of Chuck Norris! OMG!!! WOW!
