Niagra Falls at Niagra Falls State Park, Niagra Falls New York

We stopped by Niagara Falls before going to Martin's Fantasy Island because it would be wrong not to see this wonder with your own eyes when you have the chance. This is the view of the Canadian Falls from the American side. Paul says everything is better once you cross the border and there are rainbows everywhere and from my first view of Canada (the border is right at the waters edge) he might be right.

Here's Bond at the falls.

These smaller falls are the "American Falls". The speed of the water as it shoots past you and the sound of it crashing on the rocks way below you is really amazing.

After visiting the falls Paul took us just above the falls to the Three Sisters Islands. The water moves at 25 miles per hour and can quickly take you away down stream which is the 188 foot drop over the falls so you do not want to enter the water when visiting the islands. My instructions to Bond was never to touch the water and never to be more than an arms reach from me.
