To the moon and back

To the moon and back..

I surely had a trip to the moon ..Last weekend I had gone on a one day trip to Niagara (from the USA)

Couldnt have had a better gift..

The day started on 29th June, I was not sure till the end if I will be able to leave/make it to the trip..but allz well that ends well and I could go to the trip.

To give a background, the falls are physically in the USA, hence to see/have a view, we should be in Canada. But for a one day trip, USA is as good as Canada.


Two main attractions in Niagara:
1. The maid of mist : Basically, there is a ship which takes you literally inside the falls. You wear the raincoats and go take a boat ride.
The first fall is a small one or rather we didnt go inside the falls. The next two are the big ones and the ship takes a circle where in you are up close and personal with the falls. And if you dont wear a head gear, you will get wet.
And yes I had removed my head gear and got drenched :) ..Couldnt take pictures for fear of spoiling my camera. But it was an amazing view, looked like ice/snow/fog//

Once you get off the maid of mist, we took some steps to see the falls, close and personal.

2. Cave of the winds : Last but not the least, we saw /went to the Cave of the Winds. And it was the best !!! I literally felt like imitating the famous titanic pose :), I am the king of this world !!!
You are literally standing below the falls and the way the planks have been made, you dont get scared, but yet feel the full impact of the falls. Most of us were shouting our guts out..You have to be there to feel it

This is a must see for each one and we saw the rainbow as well

And you can see the pictures..on the flickr..
