Fresh from a great nights rest we got ready and headed into Toronto to go up CN Tower. As most of you would know Rachael is not that comfortable with heights and the 9 second ride to the top was thankfully over very fast. This lift was nothing compared to the Guinness factory lift and as only one side was glass it helped.
CN Tower is one of the tallest structures in the world and provides views across Toronto. Built in 1975 and opened in 1976 to the public it has a number of viewing decks both from the inside and outside. There is a section where you can stand on a glass floor and take photos which is pretty cool and most kids jumped on the glass while we stood around the edges scared that it may give way and plummet to our death.
2 hours later we were in beautiful Niagara Falls and check into our hotel (Marriott Fallsview). Upon check in we get allocated level 6 and quickly Rachael still annoyed by lack of bag asks for an upgrade, where the lady says "sure how does level 22, second from the top floor sound?". Perfect was Rachaels reply and off we go to our room and upon opening the curtains we see the falls right there in front and it was amazing. Plenty of wow's, omg's and wow's. A view we will never forget and heaps of photos to capture the moments.
That afternoon we walked down to the falls and took the 'Maid of the Mist' boat ride under the falls. I had to pop motion sickness tablets thinking it will be very rough but it was actually very smooth. When you go under the falls they provide you with fluro blue ponchos as you get very wet from the mist and water. In the heat this mist was welcomed. Being up close to the falls and hearing the water is absolutely amazing and without getting to much water on our camers we filmed some of it as well.
We spent the rest of the afteroon walking down the path along the falls, taking photos and then retired to our room where we took more photos of the falls at night and fireworks, which they put on just for us.....they knew who we were.
