Niagara Falls

Have you heard of Niagara Falls?
This was the first time I heard it when I was at Cleveland. My colleagues suggest that I should visit the falls. Well, being in US for the first time & different driving direction really made me think twice. After some googling, I was convinced and decided to visit there.
How far was it from hotel? Well, about 350km. 2 ways will be 700km. I made the effort to drive there 5.15am alone on the quiet & wide freeway (it is highway la but free one). I was indeed lucky that the Toyota Camry I rented has AutoCruise & GPS.
Driving all the way there, I paid USD3.85 for toll per way only. Imagine driving from KL to Sungai Petani will cost us RM35++. So toll in US is rather cheap.
I reached Niagara Falls at 9.00am. I took my breakfast & proceeded to my visit. I bought a USD30 package which entitled me for Niagara Adventure Theater, Maid of the Mist, Observation Tower, Cave of the Winds, Niagara Scenic Trolley, Niagara Gorge Discovery Center, Aquarium of Niagara & the list continues.
It was really a mystery falls. I took the boat ride to the base of American Falls. Well, you will get wet even though rain coat was provided. Then I proceed to take a "shower" at the Cave of the winds. The falls current was too strong that you will feel pain. Then I proceeded other places in the package.
I made myself stay till the night just to see the night view with lighting. Crazy right. Well, it was not me alone. I waited until 830pm & I managed to see the night view. Quickly snap the night view falls, I made my way home.
The visit was worth the travel although the journey was too long for me. I ended up reaching hotel at 130am.
The next time I visit the falls, it will be from the Canada side as you can get the full view from Canada.
