      Day 2

      Frisch geduscht 🌫️😶‍🌫️

      February 23 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

      Nach 2 Stunden Fahrt kamen wir in Niagara Falls (Kanada) an. Die Stadt heißt so wie die berühmten Wasserfälle. Zusätzlich gibt es auf US-Seite eine gleichnamige Stadt, die durch vier Brücken mit der kanadischen Seite verbunden ist. Es heißt, der Blick auf die Fälle sei von der kanadischen Seite besser. Ich habe natürlich keinen Vergleich, aber was ich gesehen habe, war atemberaubend schön.🥹

      Der Weg entlang des Wassers Richtung Clifton Hill und Rainbow Bridge stand regelrecht unter Wasser, weil so viel Sprühwasser in diese Richtung geweht wurde. Zum Glück gab es ein paar Shops, um schnell wieder trocken zu werden.😅 Der Nebeneffekt war ein wunderschöner Regenbogen, der beide Länder überbrückte (daher wird die Rainbow Bridge wohl ihren Namen haben😄🌈).

      Die Bootsfahrten wurden leider nicht angeboten, womit im Winter meist zu rechnen ist. Ich hatte noch überlegt, die „Behind the Falls“ Tour zu unternehmen, war dann aber nicht vollkommen überzeugt von den Bewertungen/Eindrücken.

      Also erstmal weiter zur Vergnügungsmeile. (Nicht so eine! 🚨👀)      Read more

      Niagara Fälle

      July 1, 2017 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      Nicht immer online, daher mit leichter Verspätung. Die Touri Attraktion schlechthin gesehen. Trotz der Menschenmassen sehr beeindruckend. Wo man in Island darauf setzt, alles möglichst ursprünglich zu lassen, pflastert man hier auf beiden Seiten alles mit Hotels und Kram zu. Auch ein Ansatz...
      Danach ging es aufs Land, wo wir die nächsten zwei Nächte in einem Luxus Zelt verbringen werden.      Read more

      Niagara Falls

      May 24, 2019 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Woooow 😯

      On our second day in Toronto, we drove down to Niagara Falls which are definitely pretty impressive!

      Although I‘m aware that it‘s a tourist attraction and a spot millions of visitors come each year, I was surprised by the „fun park vibe“ the surrounding has. Other than you might assume, Niagara Falls are between two cities (🇨🇦&🇺🇸) and not surrounded by pure nature. I can’t speak for the American side but as you walk into the main street right next to the falls in Canada, it’s full of lights, sounds, arcades and other attractions.

      At the end of the day we had to say goodbye to sweet Maple (our 🚗), as we‘ll get on a plane in a few days over to Calgary.      Read more

      A perfect day: #1 Niagara Falls

      July 3, 2019 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Early today we started our trip. By GO-train we went to Burlington where our friend Scott picked us up. An amazing day began!
      First we drove to Niagara Falls, happily noticing that there weren’t too many people around that early. We walked by the water watching this wonder of nature - around 3,160 tons of water flowing down Niagara Falls per second! The weather was incredible - sunny, but still not too warm. After that we took a boat, taking us very closer the falls and giving us an breathtaking (and very wet) view of these big waterfalls. Niagara Falls are divided into different falls. The biggest and most stunning one is called “the Horseshoe” (because of its shape) and is part of the Canadian side of the falls. The smaller one is located on the US side of Lake Ontario, also stunning to see, but not as beautiful as the Canadian part!
      After the refreshing trip and an absolutely unbelievable experience, we walked up Clifton Hill to see a blinking, loud and fun mixture of Las Vegas, a German carnival and an adventure park. Later Scott showed us around the town “Niagara-on-the-Lake”, a small touristic town very clean and beautiful with different trendy and chic shops and restaurant. We walked around and enjoyed the awesome weather. Before the next chapter of our perfect day should begin.... (to be continued).

      Heute ging es für uns um 7:00 Uhr los. Mit dem Go-Train fuhren wir Richtung Burlington, wo unser Freund Scott uns abholte, um uns eine unglaubliche Führung und Tag um Toronto herum zu geben. Früh erreichten wir die Niagarafälle, froh zu sehen, dass noch nicht viele Menschen dort waren. Wir bestaunten das Naturwunder, wofür man kaum die richtigen Worte finden kann. Ganze 3,160 Tonnen Wasser fließen pro Sekunde die Niagarafälle herunter! Das ist nicht vorstellbar 😳 und das seit Jahrtausenden!
      Bei Mega sonnigem Wetter liefen wir runter zum Ufer, wo wir ein Boat nahmen, welches uns tierisch nah an die Niagarafälle führte! Eine unglaubliche und nasse Aussicht eröffnete sich auf diese riesigen Wasserfälle. Ohne Worte!
      Die Niagarafälle sind unterteilt in die kanadische und amerikanische Seite. Die wesentlich schönere Seite ist die kanadische, deren Name und Form an ein Hufeisen erinnert „the horseshoe“. Aber auch die US-Seite ermöglicht einen schönen Anblick.
      Nach diesem Trip, machten wir uns auf Richtung Clifton Hills, einer Mischung aus Vegas, Kirmes und Freizeitpark, und wanderten ein bisschen durch die sich feiernden Familienmassen. Danach entschieden wir auf dem Weg Richtung Burlington am kleinen Touristen Örtchen „Niagara-on-the-lake“ zu halten und das Wetter zu genießen. Ein sehr schöner kleiner Ort, besonders für die ältere Generation mit netten aber teueren Boutiquen und Restaurants. Danach sollte das nächste Kapitel unseres absolut perfekte Tages beginnen...(Fortsetzung folgt).      Read more

      Niagara Falls

      August 11, 2019 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Did the boat, behind the falls walk, The Fury 4D movie, and a haunted house. They were both so scared they made me go first when in the haunted house. Mark said he kept his eyes closed most of the time. Max eventually put his arms around Mark's neck while walking behind him and nearly strangled Mark. You can tell from the photos how ridiculous I thought they were both being because they were so scared.Read more

      Skylon Tower

      August 25, 2019 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F

      Skylon Tower, 775 feet above the falls. Man that thing was tall and the wind was cold. Doug and I took the boys up the tower and then caught up with everyone else at Popeyes. They ate and then did the tower.

      The falls used to recede 3 feet per year. They divert enough water from the falls that it now recedes only 1 foot per 10 years. The power of the water is so great now, I can't imagine it if it was at full capacity. God's creation is so awesome!      Read more

      Bromance???

      August 25, 2019 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

      So we did quite a bit of sitting, waiting on people to catch up or go to the bathroom. Doug and Eric started trying to stare at each other and make the other laugh first. Neither one was very good at it and a lot of giggling, yes giggling, ensured. Rachel called it a "bromance". It ended in a stare-down hug. 💓Read more

      Niagara falls

      August 25, 2019 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      Left our small place in Syracuse for breakfast at macdonalds. After the food we drove to another outlet mall where i got some new jeans. When everyone was done looking we got in the car and drove to the Niagara falls. Crossed the border from USA to Canada since the falls are prettier on that side. Our hotel was on walking distance from the falls and it was amazing. We first did the 'behind the falls'. We stood on a lower viewing deck and could also walk in a tunnel with some open points behind the falls. After that we walked along the falls boulevard to the decks of the Hornblower. This is a boat we took into the horseshoe falls. Amazing.
      We went back to the hotel to swim and got back in the evening again for the falls with light and the fireworks, those were pretty disappointing. But the lights were pretty though.      Read more

      Dernière journée, on part pour Niagara falls. Ça se mérite quand même, car c'est 2h de route depuis Toronto avec le traffic. Mais sur place quelle merveille. Avec le bateau on s'approche au plus près des chutes. On est bien mouillés mais qu'est ce qu'on s'est marré !Read more

      Niagara Falls

      November 3, 2019 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C

      The world famous falls... one of the natural wonders. Impressive on its own, one has to remember that only about 30% of the water flows over the falls, the rest is used for power generation by the US and Canada.
      Goat island is between the horseshoe falls and the American falls. It was named after, you guessed it a goat. Farmers used to graze their animals on the island since there was no need for fences.      Read more
