Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls: how beautiful it is. The 10 hours trip totally paid off. The Falls are made up of three different falls – American Falls (American Side), Bridal Veil Falls (American Side), and the Horseshoe Falls (Canadian Side).

Info: The American Side and the Canadian side are separated by Goat Island, and the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls are separated by Luna Island.

Anyone that wants to see the falls from the hotel may stay in Sheraton on the Falls or Marriott Gateway – You can see the falls during breakfast!

The Falls from the hotel (sorry if its blurry)
Recommendation to enjoy the trip: If anyone wants to experience the Niagara Falls up close, ride the Maid of the Mist!

Maid of the Mist

Maid of the Mist Ticket
Any passengers riding the Maid of the Mist will experience the ‘fragments’ of Niagara Fall even though raincoats are provided for everyone. This boat is a good place to take a picture of the Niagara Falls. Up close rainbow(s) are available too! However, beware of wet cameras or hand phones or any gadgets! Even though you are the opposite side of the boat where you can’t see the falls, you can still get wet!

Rainbow sighted :>

Another tip: Its also recommended to take the panoramic view of the falls from high places, such as outside Maid of the Mist souvenir shop, if its available in your gadget.

(At least its a bit wider than normal pictures)
The top of the Falls
Oh, and also... There is a place that is situated right on top of the falls where the edges of the falls can be seen! But, I am not too sure of the name though... Around this area, there is a restaurant that can see the Niagara Falls while eating lunch! It must be reserved though...

slightly edited so that its more visible)
Niagara falls is also enjoyable at night! The lights are lit up to make the falls visible and colourful. This view is visible in a park (or so I call it) across a park that is across Hard Rock Cafe. [Sorry, no vivid description...] 


Clifton Street at night

There is also Clifton Street that is like a Mini Vegas as the main highlight are casinos. There are also Guinness World Record Museum, haunted houses, gift shops, etc. Its recommended to visit there during night time!


That’s it for Niagara Falls, I guess. A splendid place to visit, but we need to move on. Next: Toronto, a crowded city in Canada!
