Tuesday, 29th December

We woke this morning to see how beautiful the view from our window really is. It is -12C and it is snowing lightly.


After breakfast we rugged up in as many layers of clothing we could find and headed out. There weren't many people out! We walked down to the falls and took lots of pictures!! It was just so beautiful.









Amelia was well rugged up.


The sun came out and it looked just beautiful on all the snow.





We did the Back of the Falls tour where you go down in an elevator behind the Falls. It was amazing and the sound and power of the water was mind blowing. I got talking with an family from Brisbane who had been to London, Washington and were headed to Whistler and had had snow, snow, snow all the way and couldn't believe how cold it was. Amelia was very excited by the noise of the Falls.





I took lots of pictures of the Falls from all different angles but have only put a few here.


This is the hotel we are staying at. Our room is second floor from the top 3rd window from the left. Stephen, Jess and Amelia are next door.




After spending a good time exploring the Falls, Joe and I walked back to our hotel. We spent the afternoon relaxing in the warmth of our room just looking at the Falls. The sun was out and the c colour of everthing brightened. The sun was as just the right angle to form a rainbow. Who needs a TV when you have a view like this!!

Unfortunately, the sun was gone by 4:30 and the temperature outside was already -9C and that is without wind chill!!! Tomorrow we drive to New York City and the weather forecast is fine. Hopefully, it won't take an hour to get over the border back into USA. The drive is supposed to be 7 hours!!
