Inside the Canada Trust Tower


Where we rented our PT Cruiser


Taking the QEW to the Niagara Falls
Notice how their freeway symbols are all crowns


Some casino at the Niagara Falls


First feeding ourselves at this German restaurant


"Lunch is Ready!" Let's go in!


Nice decor inside


And the food's great!


Driving towards the falls


Here's the top of the Canadian/Horseshoe Falls



Lots of water running down




Everyone wants to get a shot with the falls



Fact: the Niagara Falls carries 20% of the world's fresh water, flowing from 4 of the Great Lakes


Taking the journey behind the falls


Erosion has moved the Falls from Lake Erie towards Lake Ontario over millions of years


One of the viewing portals is still blocked by ice


Getting real close to the falls




Rainbow forming in the mist (towards the left of the picture)

Meeting "Jake the Bear" on the way back up

The American Falls


The American Falls on the left, and the Canadian/Horseshoe Falls on the right



Can you see the horseshoe now?



You can get an idea of how huge those ice blocks
are if you compare them with the hotels on top


The "Maid of Mist" boats are stuck and
won't be in service for another month


The Rainbow Bridge on the left, the American Falls in the middle, and the Canadian side on the right
