Niagara Falls

22/05
We booked a Niagara Falls tour the night before and before we knew it we were at the better Canadian side of the falls and prompted embarked on the Maid of the Mist ferry ride. You definitely get a drenching from the spray from the falls however the ferry ride is short lived and the boat way too crowded. A better bet which we did is to hike to the falls from the ferry dock and take the Journey Behind the Falls walk, this basically is a small lift ride that takes you down to the base of the falls where you gain access to some tunnels that are behind the falls and also to an adjoining observation deck. The noise of the falls is thunderous and you can stay there is long as you like.
Afterwards there was a small wine tasting in a nearby vineyard part owned by Dan Ackroyd where this region is famous for ice wine before some free time around Niagara-on-the-lake, an old loyalist colonial town.
