This morning I woke at 5:30am to get ready
for the day. Justin had a headache/migraine so I got ready and went
downstairs to use the free Wi-Fi in the lobby. Later I went back to our
room and found that Justin was feeling better. We had breakfast from the
buffet at the Marriott Fallsview Resort.

I was dying to get out there all morning
and finally we were walking across to the incline railway and took it down to
the Table Rock Welcome Centre. We took more photos of Niagara Falls and then
got the printed ticket converted to the Wego Pass. With so many Niagara
Falls experiences to do in one day we quickly walked to the Hornblower Cruise,
stopping only to take more photos of the falls.

The boat cruise passes
the American Falls and goes close to the base of Horseshoe Falls. It gave
a great view of the falls, different to seeing it from above.
Once we
finished the cruise we got the Wego bus to White Water Walk where we took a
lift down the cliff to the water’s edge. There is a timber boardwalk
which you follow to see some of the largest rapids in the world, which are
class 6 rated. Travelling to the bottom of the Horseshoe Falls on the
Hornblower was much more fun for me.

From White Water Walk we got the bus
to Whirlpool Aero Car where we crossed over the whirlpool, but on the day of
our visit there was not much of a whirlpool, this was sad but the view was still good.

Next we got the bus back to Table Rock and had lunch at Edgewaters at
Queen Victoria Place. I had the Mushroom
Ravioli and Justin had a Burger, there was a free dessert with each main so I
went the Four Flavour Terrine and Justin had the White Choc Burlee. The food was very enjoyable and we had a view
of the falls from our table on the verandah.

No more time to sit around eating, we headed to Journey Behind the
Falls. One travels by a lift to the tunnel behind the falls. Not
long after getting out of the lift there was a viewing area but we decided to continue
along the tunnel which opens up to the back of Horseshoe Falls. All you
could see was white and mist and I was very disappointed.
We then went to
the first viewing platform and this was awesome being near the very edge of
Horseshoe Falls. There was a viewing area down near the base of the falls
as well as a higher viewing platform. This is worth doing as the angle is
amazing and you are closer than on the cruise.

Last of all we went to do
the Niagara Fury, this is a 4D film on how the Niagara Falls were created using
a cartoon beaver as the main character. I found it very cute. Another extra cute thing is all the stuffed toys in the gift shop including the huge stuffed Bear, Beaver, Polar Bear and
Moose. After the 4D film you move into another room where you experience
changes that led to the creation of the falls. It was pretty good but
more movement and vibrations should have been used.

That night we went to Fallsview Casino
Resort to get money out at the ATM, so we decided to stay for the buffet dinner
at $22 per person. It was good value and non-alcoholic drinks are
included.
