In the moning we had a very rushed breakfast at a diner comprising of scrambled eggs, bacon, french toast and pancakes with maple syrup (we are in Canada). Then it was time to see the Falls on the Canadian side.  

At 7.15am without the neon lights and crowded with tourists the Falls were majestic. Standing behind a barricade that seemed to barely separate us from the river flow, we could gaze upon the huge expanse of the Niagara river as meandered its way downstream and cascade over this amazing rock edge to the valley below. Massive volumes of water, spray hurtling hundreds of metres into the air, and  water droplets and vapour covering our faces.

Perhaps it couldn't get any better than this? Now time to cross the border and have a boat ride in the Maid of the Mist on the mighty Niagara river.
