Day 12 (September 28th) Niagara Falls etc

 



Just above the falls
The Whirlpool
Our day for our trip to Niagara dawned bright and sunny.  We were out early to catch the coach for the full day.  We visited an area called the Whirlpool just below the falls which gave a taster of what was to come. We took many photos of the falls which we thought were truly spectacular and one of the highlights of the holiday.  We had a good lunch in the Sheraton Hotel which gave special views of the falls  and where the video above was taken.  Inevitably we got wet as we took the boat trip to the foot of the falls but our Scilly waterproofs served us well.






 
We then had a tour of some local beauty spots ending up at Niagara-on-the lake which was an attractive "colonial" town which hasn't been modernised.  We saw a groundhog on a piece of waste land.  The lake was Lake Ontario.
