One of the places that was on our bucket list from the beginning was seeing Niagara Falls and taking the night photos. When we looked on the map, it seemed to us that the falls are right next to Toronto. Although Niagara Falls are not the highest waterfalls β either in Canada or in the United States β they definitely are the most well-known.
Located between lakes Erie and Ontario, Niagara River waterfalls are divided into two parts. Their width is about m and height 30 m. More known is Canadian part β Horseshoe Falls , with height of 51 m and a width of meters. The reason for this is continuous erosion of base of the waterfall caused by the huge amounts of water β each second an average of 2, m 3 of water flows through Niagara Falls. When we reached the town of Niagara Falls and wandered a bit through the city, we finally found the right way to the falls.
We had bought the tickets for a boat ride to the waterfalls and the cruise was scheduled at , so first we headed up to the marina. Sky looking peacefully at the beginning now started to be cloudy β and while we were waiting in the line to board the ship β dressed in raincoats β the clouds turned to a regular thunder-storm.
Just in seconds it started to rain heavily, and most of the people left the queue and looked for a shelter. We decided to face the weather β and it turned to our profit, as we had much more space on the front of the boat.
The boat started cruising along the American Falls, and later sailed into the Horseshoe. The force of water falling from the waterfall rocked the boat, as we entered the cloud of water created by the same force β and it was just as intense as rain. After the cruise, once it stopped raining, we went to explore the area. The town of Niagara Falls strongly benefits from tourism built around the waterfalls.
