Now how else would you start your birthday except breakfast at IHOP? That is how we started our day. Then we headed down to the river for our tour. We boarded the double decker red bus and were on our way to the first stop --- Journey under the falls. We went down an elevator and through a tunnel and ended up under the falls. We all wore raincoats because it was like a hurricane force rain and wind. Amazing power coming down those falls.
Next we boarded the bus for our next stop - the one I was most nervous about - the cable car across the whirlpool section of the river. The Niagara makes a 90 degree turn and creates a whirlpool in the river. The cable car goes across the river -200 above it. Those who know me know heights are not my thing - but I made it and actually could look over the side.
After a tour through the area we arrived at the Maid of the Mist boat ride. The boat carries you up close and personal to the falls. You definately get wet!
When we got back to the room we both crashed for a while before we headed out to part 2 of our day. After supper we headed back down along with about a million others to the falls for the fireworks. Ron thought it was great that they arranged all that for my birthday!
We had a great day!!!!
It sounds like a great way to spend a Birthday!!
