Our hotel from the falls. We really had a great view from our room.

The Mariott had a tour package that included most of the hot-spots we wanted to visit.
Here are the kids with our Tour Guide, Joe. Victoria was his Okey-Dokey girl. She would tell him whenever all the tourists were on the bus.

First Joe swung us around above the falls a little bit ... Gustav Lofberg and James Harris were rescued when this scow was marooned on August 7, 1918.
|
|
|
Next we went behind the falls ... The photographer seems to have lost Lewis, but behind us is the Cataract Portal.
This portal brings you behind the thunderous Niagara. Falling 54 metres (176 ft), an incredible 154 milling litres (34 million gallons) of water per minute during summer and 86 million litres (19 million gallons) per minute during winter flow continuously over the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. The crestline is estimated to be 675 metres (2200 feet) wide.

From right next to the falls we were able to get these shots.
|
|
|
Amazing!
|
|
|
Next we went up into the Skylon Tower - here is the view from the elevator!

|
|
Here is the view of the American Falls!

|
Our Tour Guide took us to a Glass Blowing factory on a little tour. Here the Master Craftsman is crafting a horse.

|
|
The finished product!

|
|
Then we went to see this cable car (which we didn't ride). It takes it's passengers over a natural whirlpool a way downstream from the falls.
|
|
|
Next on the tour was the Floral Clock.
|
|
|
And finally, 'The Maid of the Mist'!
|
|
|
There was restaurant named 'The Secret Garden' that looked kinda neat. The atmosphere was ok, the food was lousy. However behind the restaurant was this 'Secret Garden'!
|
|
|
Before we left on Tuesday, we walked down to the falls.
|
|
|
This is where we stood on the 'Behind the Falls' tour.
