was at Niagara Falls twice, once in 1988 and then again in 1999.
I was in awe of the size and sheer power and beauty of "Niagara Falls".
We went on the Maid Of The Mist and I thought it was great and a fantastic
way how to see the Falls close up and feel the sheer power of the falls,
we also walked over to the Canadian side of the Falls and the views from
here where also fantastic, after walking back over to the New york side
we had a couple of beers and dinner in The Hard Rock Cafe. The last time
I was there we stayed at The Ramada At The Falls, superbly situated on
a very short walk from the falls, this hotel was very good value for the
area, also clean big rooms up to the usual standard of Ramada, also back
in 1988 we stayed at a small independent motel about 10 minutes drive
from the falls called The Sleepy Hollow Motel. We went into the falls
on the Maid of the Mist boat and is a phenomenal experience. The boat
departs every 15 minutes, and takes visitors in front of the American
Falls and into the Horseshoe of the Canadian Falls, you will soon understand
the reason behind the raincoats, which are included in the price of the
ticket.
The other way to view the falls that is in the 'must do' category, is
The Journey Behind The Falls. This is excellent and is the way to really
observe the true force of the falls. Another fantastic way of seeing the
falls is by helicopter. Niagara Helicopter Rides provides this service.
This provides an incredible view of the falls and the surrounding area.
The trip takes One and a Half Hours and operates all year round from 9.00am
to sunset weather permitting.
