Hello folks,
I finished up things in Niagara Falls this morning. The first thing I did was visit the Whitewater Walk. I went down in an elevator into the Niagara gorge and walked along the boardwalk next to the Niagara Rapids. They are class 6 rapids, the strongest there is.
Across the street from the rapids is the heliport. So you know I couldn't pass that by. The first thing we flew over were the Whirlpool Rapids. This is very near where I was walking above. The next seven pictures are all screen grabs from my video of the helicopter flight.
The next picture is looking up the Niagara River toward the falls and town.
Below is the Canadian Horseshoe Falls and that is my hotel on the extreme right.
Below you can see both the American and Canadian Falls with Goat Island in the middle.
Below we are on top of the Canadian Falls looking up the Niagara River.
Below is a nice picture of Goat Island from behind the falls.
The last helicopter picture is the American Falls and Rainbow Bridge.
After the helicopter ride I drove up the Niagara Parkway to Niagara-On-The-Lake. This is one of the prettiest little towns I have ever been in.
It was another beautiful day today. A nice day for a walk in this picturesque town. Below is the Prince of Wales Hotel built in 1864.
The streets are lined with shops, restaurants and old historic hotels.
The town also sits on Lake Ontario. It was a nice clear day. I could see Toronto on the other side.
After leaving Niagara-On-The-Lake I drove to Milton, Ontario. It is just outside Toronto off 401. It will be a quick 20 mile drive to the airport in the morning from here, and a lot cheaper than paying for another night in Niagara Falls.
Unless I manage to sneak away again for another quickie, my next trip won't be until Europe this November.
Tim
