Niagara and Bridal Veil Falls

Breakfast for our BnB is in the main guesthouse a five minute walk from ours. We filled out our choice for this morning’s cooked option yesterday at checkin. Mine was for vegetarian quiche but the chef got it wrong - so I opted plain crepes and maple syrup instead. A buffet of croissants, berry scones, cherry turnovers and fruits is also available plus juice and coffee. A good start for a day of exploring the beauty of the falls.
Walking of course. The morning started quite cloudy and the temperature was way down from yesterday. Yesterday the wind was strong but the temp got up to 25 degrees. Today the max was 12.
The falls are magnificent. The power and volume of the water coming over the falls is unbelievable. The Horseshoe Falls would be our favourite but the Bridal Veil Falls are pretty special as well.
The walk continues on past the falls, the old electricity power plant (in the most picturesque buildings I have seen for power plants - designed to be in keeping with the beauty of the falls), the Dufferin Islands and on to a Bridge/weir thing. The path did continue on but at this point we decided to turn back.
We dined at The Falls Restaurant, having a beautiful shared meal of butternut squash soup, veggie samosas, marinated veggie and Brie ciabatta and fries. After that we waddled back to our abode.Read more
