Niagara Falls @ Toronto

2nd and, 3rd Sept 2008

I've decided to set aside a separate post for pictures at Niagara Falls. I'm smitten with this part of the trip, besides the tantrums that AN had been throwing almost the whole day.

From afar, before we took the gondola-like thingy down to the falls
Alvin, at the giftshop with a fan

And 3 fans
Headless knight & his fan with sunglasses. The irony of it. hehe.

Mr Liow looking for the head

From sheer excitement
Finally, at the falls!

This is the America-view of the falls

Horseshoe

This rainbow can be seen no matter where you stand!

Touching the rainbow

Giving the Maid of the Mist a little push

Merlion
Fume-spitting Uncle Neigi

Mr Liow and his second wife

This is how Niagara Falls happen

Drinking from the everflowing fall

Behind the falls

Drenched

Here lies angry baby..uh-oh, she's awake!

Still dreamy...

Yawning before she start yelling at us...

See, angry face.
More pictures of Niagara Falls
This is Maid of the Mist where passengers get to be taken as near to the falls as possible, safely.

More of the rainbow



AN became an attraction somehow. Someone actually asked if she could have a picture taken with AN. Wonder why anyone would want a picture with a grumpy baby. The lady was too kind. hehe.

The America-view

Horseshoe 'mist'

Closer-up

Even the rocks looked lovely


Group photo at Niagara Falls. We asked several passerbys to help but all of them took the picture with AN's pram in it, which wasn't too pretty. This kind soul was sharp enough to take the picture so that the pram was finally out of the picture. Or did I remember wrongly? I think either Mr Liow or Neigi positioned the camera for the last kind soul..ok well.

Loving family

Secretly squishing the head of Mr Liow's 'secret partner' hehe.

Neigi getting the tickets to Maid of the Mist
This was it!

That wasn't our ride but from far, that would be what we'd be going to take
Entering the mist

Going on the journey with an angry baby who just got awaken coz she had to be taken out of the stroller.

Trying to cheer his girl up

With the help of uncle Neigi

Angry baby with an affected daddy now

Before we fell into the showers

Approaching it..

Neigi was our main photographer. Thanks so much!

Coming coming..

Mr Liow had to take AN to the lower deck when the waters started to beat onto the passengers coz AN got frightened and coz she wasn't wearing the plastic raincoat.

After Maid of the Mist journey, we took a slow stroll by the stores

Then had dinner at Skylon, Top of the Suite Buffet.

...where the view was worth a million bucks! No la..hee. We had buffet dinner there, costly but I guess the view made up for what the food didn't make the mark for.

From the observation deck while Uncle Neo took AN for a walk. I was done with AN by then... :(

The morning after, before we leave for Washington..

Lastly, the view from our room. There were 2 rooms in our suite and this view was from our room. It would have been better if the rest had this view from their room (^__^)

Goodbye Niagara Falls...we'll be back *waves sadly*
