Niagara Viagra

Saturday, July-07

The last full day in Canadia ... well, at least for a while.

Bob again collects us from our motel and we straightaway meet-up with Les at his local golf club. Next stop - the Niagara Falls.

115 miles (185 km) later, at around 6:00pm, we get there. I can't believe that after all the dreaming and planning during the last 18 months; I'm finally here, at the Canadian Horseshoe Falls.

More than 168,000 cubic metres (6 million cubic feet) of water go over the crestline every minute ...

.. and then plunges 52 metres (170 feet) into ...

.. the Maid of the Mist Pool.

Truly, absolutely bloody awesome!

Is there a better way to end the daylight hours, than a fine dinner overlooking the most powerful waterfall in North America?

Looking at Les from this profile, he reminds me of a famous movie star. I damned if I can remember which one though ...??

Thaks again Les, for your time, company and guidance.

.. ;o)

It's approaching 9:00pm ...

.. and the ambient temperature is STILL a balmy 73ºF (23ºC) ..

.. at the end of a perfect mid-summer's day, here at Niagara Falls
