Niagara Falls Up Close!

Wednesday August 12<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We took a bus tour from Port Colborne to Niagara Falls with stops to see the Flower Clock along the way. Arrived at Niagara Falls around 2 PM. The organized trip to go close to the falls was in place and we got our tickets and ponchos before getting in line to board the Maid of the Mist boats. We had a wet 20-minute boat ride up close and personal with the Canadian side of the falls. The bus then road along the Niagara wine country and past the Floral Clock before returning us to the ship. Sailed before dinner so we were able to get the two harbor lights photographed from the bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found several virtual geocaches before departing the falls to return to the ship for the overnight sail to Cleveland,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
