Så nærmer vi os det store vandfald. Som altid lidt shopping undervejs og mens vi spiser frokost på Subway med de lækre selvkomponerede sandwich booker Hanne lige hotel over det trådløse net. Så er der igen fundet et omkring 100 dollars med morgenmad for alle 4. Mon ikke det holder herude vestpå? Når vi når Manhattan bliver det nok noget dyrere :-). Efter indtjekning, sodavandene i køleskabet og kameraerne opladet er det afsted de 5 km til Niagara vandfaldene. Vi parkerer tæt på og bliver straks "overfaldet" med tilbud på 1200 kr for guidet tur rundt i hele området. Men vi kan nu godt gå selv, os "fra Jylland", og vi får faktisk set rigtig meget. Først alle billederne fra "de amerikanske vandfald". Det er imponerende, hvor meget vand der ryger ud over kanten og de ... read more

Niagara falls NY is contra to what I thought a poor town where you shouldn't walk outdoors alone after 9 PM if you value your live and credit card. It was pretty much deserted when we arrived and whilst walking towards our hotel hoping to find a bus stop going in that direction we finally stopped a taxi because although there are bus stops in Niagara, there don't seem to be buses. Later were told by Joe the taxi driver that if you are lucky you can catch a bus every 5 hours and once every 24 hours on Sundays. :)) We dropped our luggage of at the hotel and went out to find the Falls to get a glimpse of the it in the dark. Just by following the roaring sound of the falling water ... read more

Got up at 9am to pack my bag and get ready to leave and meet Carl at the airport, where we would be flying Buffalo, so we could visit Niagara Falls! My shuttle to the airport wasn’t coming until 1.45pm, but I was taking my time to do everything, so it was just about right! I said my goodbye’s to Madi, headed downstairs to wait for my shuttle, and was out the front watching a car which was stuck in the middle of the road, in the snow and ice, unable to move. Half an hour later, I was still waiting, and starting to freak out a little that I was going to be stranded, when finally the shuttle driver walked up to me, and told me he’d parked on the next street, as he couldn’t ... read more

Nie ma słów, żeby opisać Cud Natury jakim jest WODOSPAD NIAGARA ... Zdjęć i filmów zrobiłyśmy tak dużo, że powinnyśmy założyć oddzielny blog poświęcony Niagarze.... Niestety nie mamy czasu ani siły wybierać, bo ruszamy dalej w inne "województwa" , a poza tym wszystkie są fajne i nie da się wybrać! Oto losowo wybrane niektóre z nich.... chociaż żaden kadr nie odda piękna tego miejsca ;) ... read more

The trip to the park where I was staying in Lockport, New York ran very close to the Erie Canal and, as the name suggests, a section of the locks system is close by. My first day however, was ear-marked for Niagara Falls. I knew I wanted to take a ride on the "Maid of the Mist" and see as much of both the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls as I could. What a treat. Niagara is right up there with Crater Lake as one of the most exciting places I have visited. I picked up a flyer for a 15 mile trip down the Erie Canal and took that opportunity too. Another great experience. The purpose of the canal was to link New York with the undeveloped land to the west. The canal links ... read more
