Seeing Niagara Falls is a dream to many,but that dream came true to me and I am very pleased to say that I am among the many who have traveled to see this amazing spectacle which nature has given to us......As the memorial day is nearing by ,we get four holidays in a row, so we started planning where to go..this question arises everytime...As we are new to Chicago,i suggested to go in and around Chicago,but after a lot of discussions we decided to go to NIAGARA FALLS.....
Niagara Falls, one of the world's greatest natural wonders, can only be described as breath taking...Millions of tourists from around the world come by plane, train and automobile to experience the spectacular view of Niagara Falls....
Coming to the point I didnt expect this much earlier to see NIAGARA FALLS..and Without wasting time started packing , booked hotels and planned everything...
As per the plan We started at 6.00a.m....it takes 12 hrs drive to reach Niagara from Chicago..
Our journey to Niagara was very joyful and we were very eager to see the spectacular falls,but as the journey was too long, we took some stop overs in the middle..nearly at 5.00p.m we got to see the sign board " WELCOME TO NIAGARA"...HURRAY we shouted with joy..From the long distance we saw the water flowing and the rhythmic sound of water...
I read it some where that, human body consists 60% of water,and so attracted to water..how true it is..from kids to elders all are attracted to water and wants to play with it...that is the magnificent power of water....
After reaching the destination we checked -in the hotel and came out refreshed ,carrying our cameras we headed towards the falls..then the time was 6.30 p.m...we dont know how Niagara looks like ,so when we saw the stream of water we thought "is this Niagara falls "......and then we followed some tourists and viewed water falls from long distance.....We were very upset because this is not what we thought..it is said unlike CANADA , we get to see only some part of falls from U.S side..
As it is getting darker,the crowd is growing and we came to know that Each night, various-colored lights shine on the falls. Blue, yellow, purple, green, and pink light up the falls, creating a flowing rainbow of water for all to see and at 10.00 p.m fireworks ..
We satisfied a bit after seeing this colored water falls..and went back to our hotels as we tired very much of the day journey..
Next day we planned to MAID OF MIST..This is a boat ride which gives a close up experience to Niagara falls .The boat starts off at a calm part of the Niagara river and takes the passenger into
the dense mist of water spray.....we get into the boat and waited to see view ..and here comes THE AMAZING,SPECTACULAR AND MAJESTIC VIEW .THIS IS WHAT NIAGARA FALLS IS.....
No one could imagine the actual size and greatness of the falls.Our imaginations could never give us an idea of the actual beauty .The natural beauty and magnificence of the falls can only be seen through your own eyes....To fully enjoy the sights and sounds of the amazing falls, you should have to visit them personally......
