24th July 1991 Day 4

The diary entry "Having been told by the Visitor Information Centre that we couldn't "do The Falls" in a day we set out to prove them wrong. It was easy. Walked all around the American Falls, 

rode on the Maid of the Mist (complete with blue cagoules), strolled into Canada, walked around the tacky 'Seaton Carew' area of town, marvelled at the 675,000 gallons per second of the Horseshoe Falls, 

looked at some awful souvenirs, did a quick bit of sunbathing, walked back to America, smuggled in some 35mm film, looked at the Museum of the American Indian Turtle-type thing, had lunch and a few beers, watched a bit of baseball and then had to think of something to do in the evening. The wild downtown was about as wild as something not very wild so we went back to our original bar and supped a pitcher of ice cold beer. Decided to look at the lit-up Falls at night. Unfortunately you can't see much from the American side but I did manage to get drenched trying. Highlight of the day - the new visa stamp in the passport. Only joking!"













2011 - not much to say really, The Falls are still there, baseball is still crap and the Maid of the Mist is still doing its thing. To see what it's like more recently take a look here.
