Had thought we would spend the entire day at the falls but a few hours was enough.
The first thing was the maid of the mist, a boat that takes you down the river and near the falls. Initially I didn't want to wear the poncho provided but gave in to peer pressure as everybody had theirs on. So clad in blue we got on the boat , it was much more fun than I had anticipated. A short ride but one that will get you wet if you are on the open deck, which we were. Got to view the American falls but literally entered the Horseshoe / Canadian falls. Loved the gushing water all around us and the mist that arises from it and sprays everything around.
We walked on the road to go around the horseshoe falls, everything there is wet. Crossing the road doesn't help as the spray reaches the adjoining park. Thought of watching a movie in the IMAX theatre but it only shows a movie about the falls! After a long walk we did manage to see a regular movie, Moneyball.
