Niagara
After the wedding we drove north to New York State, to see Niagara Falls (after all it was our honeymoon), and we had tickets to see the Indigo Girls in Buffalo. We walked around the US side of the falls (American Falls) which was pretty impressive, but the Canadian side is even better as you’ll see below…
So after we’d had enough of the American Falls we decided to take a hike to a foreign land …
After paying the exhorbitant toll for crossing the bridge on foot (25 cents!!) we strolled along the cliff overlooking the river towards the Horseshoe Falls. But first we had to eat, so we stopped at a little outdoor cafe.
There is a boat service called Maid of the Mist that goes to the base of the falls so that tourists can get really really wet. We didn’t go on this ride, as we were more inclined to stay mainly dry. However I did take some pictures of the poor souls who did:
