Niagara Falls

This place is just gorgeous, the pictures don’t really do it justice. It was freezing and we got wet walking through the mist from the falls but that’s half the fun. The view from the Skylon Tower is perfect, you can see how much more the Canadian side has been developed compared to the USA side. The Tower is 775 metres above the falls and it takes a minute to reach the top in the bug elevator. The huge volume of water never stops lowing, however, the falling water and mist create ice formations along the banks of the falls and river. This can result in mounds of ice as thick as fifty feet. We will definitely be going back to Niagara in the summertime.

The souvenir shop has a few photo opportunities outside, so we took advantage of them.

 

We went through this house that has been built upside down. It was quite weird walking on the sloped floor and seeing everything stuck to the roof.

 We also checked out the Hersey store. Didn’t buy anything it was too expensive.
